Rapid Transit Ground Support
AMIX Grout Plant (AGP) was built for client to produce extremely accurate, high quality, on-demand grout.
AGI Foundation Contractors Inc. - Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada
Project Description:
AMIX Systems was retained by AGI to design and build a high capacity grout mixing plant that could provide the quality and quantity of grout needed to keep their soil mixing operation running at maximum production.
Project Scope:
AMIX Systems was retained by AGI to design and build a high capacity grout mixing plant that could provide the quality and quantity of grout needed to keep their soil mixing operation running at maximum production.
The rapid transit line, a $1.43 billion project, is 11 km in length with elevated, at-grade, and underground sections with seven stations. AGI Foundation Contractors performed deep soil-cement mixing to stabilize soft soils along a portion of the alignment.
The Need:
A grout mixing plant was needed that could be connected to, and work seamlessly with, the soil mixing rig. Because of the length of the alignment being treated, the grout mixing plant needed to be easily transportable to move with the soil mixing rig and it needed to have a small footprint due to the narrow corridor. The plant needed to produce a highly flowable and homogeneous grout on demand.

“Our project required large quantities of high quality grout and we needed a grout plant that was compact, easy to set up and move and low maintenance. Amix designed a plant which contained features that we hadn’t originally envisioned but that turned out to be extremely useful, including remote controls and self-cleaning capabilities.” – Sean Callan
AMIX provided a conceptual design and built a custom high shear colloidal mixing grout plant that included manufacturing a skid mounted grouting system. The plant was built off-site and delivered to site in an easy to set up modular design. The AMIX plant is an extremely accurate grout system producing high quality, on-demand grout. Additional features of the batch plant include it’s self-cleaning function allowing for low maintenance and little down time, as well as incorporating a remote application allowing for seamless grout flow control at the soil mixing rig.
