Restoration of Rideau Locks: Grouting technology improves structure

North America’s historical structures are becoming an endangered species.  Professional grouting has proven to be a technically viable and economically attractive engineering technique for the rehabilitation of buildings and structures.  Such a state-of-the-art grouting approach was used for the rehabilitation of the historical locks on the Rideau Canal.  Grouting reduces permeability of the structures, increases their structural integrity, and preserves their historical character.
