Grouting techniques can also be used to prevent wind erosion and keep moisture in the soil. A four acre miniature forest was grown in the Sahara desert (Southern Tunisia) using a specially developed solution grout. It was sprayed on the sand after small Acacia Cyanaphylla trees were planted.
Piping below large primary clarifiers was replaced by sinking shafts in silty soils below the water table. No dewatering was allowed. A multiple pass soil grouting program created a stable, low permeability conglomerate through which the shafts were excavated.
