ö New Orleans 2012 draft paper 2011.01.27Tomasz Najder
This document provides information on rock grouting projects using polyurethane (PUR) resins in Iceland and Turkey. It summarizes projects from 1993-2009 that involved grouting in extreme geological and weather conditions. PUR and other resins like urea-silicate were used for grouting to improve rock stability, seal cracks, and fill cavities in complex basalt formations with high water flows. The document discusses the chemical properties and applications of one-component and two-component PUR resins as well as urea-silicate hybrid resins. It also summarizes specific projects in Iceland that demonstrated the effectiveness of PUR for grouting in cold temperatures and high water pressures/flows.
Paper Aachen- Najder engineering 2008.04.17Tomasz Najder
This document summarizes rock grouting projects in Iceland that involved tunneling through complicated geological conditions. It describes an emergency rock grouting project to seal tunnels in Isafjordur that encountered major faults with water inflows over 1,000 liters/second. Improvements were made to grouting procedures including using quick-setting cement grouts and polyurethane resins to stabilize the rock and reduce water inflows. It also discusses a project in Botnsheiði Tunnel that intersected a fault with up to 1 cubic meter/second of water. Grouting methods were optimized using accelerated cement mixes, lightweight sand, and polyurethane resins to stabilize the rock and seal cracks in extreme cold and

- Grouting works were performed between an existing tailrace and new powerhouse excavation to address water ingress along a lineament. Initial drilling and grouting in September 2010 using GeoFoam had limited effect on water flow.
- Additional drilling and grouting was conducted in October 2010, including using cement grout and backfilling voids with concrete, gravel, and geotextiles. However, water flow continued to increase up to 20cm/sec.
- Final grouting in mid-October 2010 using two GeoFoam pumps injected over 12,000kg of GeoFoam into boreholes intersecting karstic cavities. This led to a measurable reduction in water flow, likely aided by previous ge

The document reports on several tunneling projects in Iceland that encountered issues with water inflows and ground failures. These include the Breiđaldalur Tunnel and Botnsheiđi Tunnel projects in 1993 that experienced water inflows from faults, and several tunnels constructed as part of the Hydropower Kárahnjúkar Project from 2005-2007 that suffered from leaks, washouts, overbreaks and collapsing tunnel walls and crowns believed to be caused by faults in the ground.
The document discusses the Hedinsfjordur Tunnel project in Iceland. It provides details about the two tunnels that make up the project - the Olafs Tunnel which is 7.1km long, and the Siglu Tunnel which is 3.9km long. The tunnels presented construction challenges like water ingress pressures up to 32 bar and water temperatures as low as 2 degrees Celsius. Work on the project started in 2006 and the tunnels opened for traffic on October 2, 2010, providing an important new transportation link for Iceland.
