Sand Jetting |
A method of sand bedding whereby the sand-water mix is transported through a jet pipe which can be moved anywhere in the void between the underside of the tunnel and the trench bottom. As the velocity of the mix decreases after leaving the jet, sand is deposited by gravity. The resulting density of the sand is less than by the sand flow method. The work can only be done from the outside.
