"... one of the best available on such a specific and important topic. This book should prove useful for a range of readers, from those who need to understand the scientific bases for designing an adequate solution, to those who search for better knowledge of the technology itself."
-Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, January 2016
"Unlike similar titles providing general information on ground improvement, this book is entirely devoted to the role of jet grouting - its methods and equipment, as well as its applications."
-T&UC, September 2015
"The topics, which range from the description of jet grouting and its principles to the study of case histories, are well organized and presented in a reader-friendly way... and will surely [make the book] an invaluable tool not only for geotechnical engineers, but also for specialized contractors, who occasionally do not have a theoretical framework to carry out the design of the treatment."
--Oscar Alberto Varde, President, the Argentine Engineering National Academy, Buenos Aires, Argentina
"... the authors have made a brave attempt in this book to demystify the practice of jet grouting. There appears to be significant detail associated with the technology used, the processes and the mechanisms induced in the ground. The text is clear and easily understandable. The figures are sufficiently simple to demonstrate the essential processes. The design process is dealt with in two chapters and should aim to bring greater confidence to the design of jet-grouted structures."

"This book is exceptional in that it is all inclusive, comprehensive and even handed in its coverage."
