7th International Conference on Grouting and Deep Mixing Call For Abstracts
Abstract Submission Deadline: Monday, January 19, 2026
DFI and ICOG, together with Conference Co-Chairs Kathleen Bensko, P.G. (KBensko Consulting) and Paolo Gazzarrini, FEC, P.Eng. (Sea to Sky Geotech), Program Co-Chairs Raffaella Granata (TREVI Group) and Allen Cadden, P.E., BC.GE (Schnabel Engineering), invite you to submit an abstract for this three-day event, which is also supported by ASCE’s Geo-Institute Grouting Committee and a global Technical Advisory Committee.
Presentation Themes
- Advances in Data Management: project and data management systems leveraging big data and AI
- Innovations and Developments in Drilling, Grouting and Deep Mixing: permeation, compaction, compensation and jet grouting; deep mixing; other cutoff methods; equipment and methods for drilling/mixing/ pumping
- Advances in Grout Materials: bio cement, various types of cement, microfine/ultrafine cement, sodium silicate, nanosilica, hot melts, foams, polyurethanes, acrylates, admixtures
- Properties of Grouted Material: grouted soils and rock, compaction grouted soils, soil-cement produced by deep mixing and jet grouting, strength and permeability of grouted soils
- Grouting and Sustainability: materials, drilling, grouting and deep mixing as alternatives to less sustainable solutions; environmental mitigation
- Codes, Standards and Specifications: owners/contractors/suppliers/ third-party perspectives, international variation, challenges and lessons learned
- Advances in Verification and Monitoring: geophysical methods, field tests, innovation, measurement while drilling, sampling and testing techniques, automation and digital controls, real-time monitoring and control
- Case Studies in Applications: dams, levees, mines, tunnels, seismic retrofit and remediation; ground treatment (permeability reduction, settlement control, structural support), grouting for major infrastructure; environmental applications; grouting for deep foundations, anchors and micropiles; other seepage cutoff
- Grouting for Resiliency: harbors, waterfronts, dams and levees; extreme event mitigation; emergency response and restoration
