Abstract

A grout for filing a micro-trench formed in the ground includes comprises Class F fly ash in a range of approximately 0 to 30% by weight of grout and cement kiln dust in a range of approximately 50 to 90% by weight of grout.

Claims (18)

1 . A grout for a backfilling a micro-trench, comprising:

class F fly ash in a range of approximately 0 to 30% by weight of the grout; and

cement kiln dust in a range of approximately 50 to 90% by weight of the grout.

2 . The grout of claim 1 , wherein it is formed as a single grout composition for mixing with water to yield a finished grout.

3 . The grout of claim 1 , wherein the grout mixture is inserted into the micro-trench and consolidates into voids in pavement and aggregate sub base areas giving structural stability to any defects in said pavement and aggregate sub base areas.
