A review of cement grout flow in fractured rock is presented. State-of-the-art techniques for grouting are discussed including water pressure testing, type of equipment, methods, grout mix design, and monitoring techniques. Analytic models for flow of grout are explored including viscous and visco-plastic fluid models. A field test program is planned to evaluate the suitability of the grout flow model to determine if these models are useful monitoring tools during production grouting operations. Site selection criteria for the field test program are provided along with instrumentation and data acquisition methods, and a cost estimate to accomplish the test program.
