Barrier islands are long offshore deposits of sand lying parallel to the coast. Barrier islands are rather continuous along the Atlantic coast of the United States. They extend around Florida and along the Gulf of Mexico coast...

GP 2000 Grout Pump. Description: The MBT GP2000 is a spiral (Rotor/Stator) pump used for mixing and pumping of cementitious grouts and the spraying of repair mortars and small volumes of shotcrete. It will deliver approximately 2m’ per hour of any pumpable material with an aggregate size up to 4mm. The stator has an adjustable clamp housing which maintains a constant output pressure and lengthens the service life of the pump parts. Recommended for: placement of grouts for encapsulating cables and rock anchors - particularly in mining applications, spraying of repair mortars, spraying of shotcrete.  4, record 7, English, - grout%20cement%20pump

In general terms, grouting refers to the injection of a suitable binding admixture into the ground as a means to fill voids, consolidate loose formations, stabilize structures, or as an isolating barrier. It can be classified under three main areas in construction applications. a. Cement grouting : A combination of mixtures such as cement/sand/bentonite is used to fill voids and can consolidate coarse soils, sands, gravels and the like. Usually pumped into a drilled bore hole under low to medium pressure or by the tube-et-manchette method. b. Chemical grouting... c. Fissure/Permeation grouting...  5, record 7, English, - grout%20cement%20pump
