Abstract:

In the heart of London, one of Europe's largest jet grouting contracts is nearing completion. The jet grouting is part of the overall 7-year-long upgrade project to London Underground Victoria Station, one of London's busiest stations. The project involves the construction of a new ticket hall, an extension to an existing ticket hall, and numerous interconnecting tunnels that link the construction works to the existing passenger walkways and escalators.
