What is TDR?

TDR is a low cost, full range ground subsidence detection network technology proven by the Federal Highway Administration for monitoring movement in landslides and ground subsidence.

  • ​Verification methods for compaction grouting after placement have traditionally relied on grout take records and achieved pressures, CPT or SPT results.
  • The CPT and SPT method only measure relative soil strength and not ground movement. These methods can miss the areas of subsurface grouting.
  • TDR is able to measure the occurrence and severity of ground movement after remedial efforts.

TDR Applied to Compaction Grouting Projects

  • Installed by trained personal and monitored by G3 Group electrical engineers
  • Can be installed into only the angled grout holes for cost effective installation
  • System is robust and will last for years
  • TDR baseline is established at the time of installation
  • Measurements can be retaken at any time for litigation or proof of effectiveness of the grout program

TDR Benefits to Homeowner & Service Firms

  • Long term performance monitoring of grout project
  • Results can be used to insure grout placement was effective
  • Claims of improper ground stabilization can be addressed with evidence
  • Peace of mind & increased resale value for homeowner
  • Reduced false claims and warranty assurances for insurance, engineering, and grouting firms
