Abstract

Practical experience with repair work on mooring sheet-piling for the port of Kazan', where jet technology was first successfully used to eliminate consequences of suffosion failures in sandy backfill, is presented. A new method of the probing of underground cavities, which is called production jet probing, is described; it was precisely this method that had established the existence of broad areas of loosened soils adjacent to suffosion strips.
