NAC534.438. Prerequisites to using bentonite grout to seal, grout or plug borehole.


Latest version.
  • Before using bentonite grout to seal, grout or plug a borehole, the responsible project geologist, hydrologist or engineer using the bentonite grout must:

         1. Consider the geology encountered in the borehole and any requirements set forth in this chapter or chapter 534 of NRS in his or her selection of the bentonite grout;

         2. Mix the bentonite grout and place the bentonite grout in accordance with specifications recommended by the manufacturer; and

         3. Place additional cement plugs as necessary, across low permeability geologic formations encountered in the borehole, to ensure that no water can move vertically in the borehole.
