Grout hole drilling sequence and The split space method drilling and
layout for the 10m Shaft grouting sequence to be carried out i.e.
Strike and dip drilling and grouting of grout holes GH1,

GH1
Grout holes GH1 and GH2, which are adjacent to
each other and initially drilled and grouted, to be
GH9 GH2 positioned on the down dip side of the water
bearing strata due to the path of greatest resistance
to the grout flow that will be in the down dip
direction along the water bearing strata planes.
