Abstract
Introduction. The area of permafrost occupies most of Russia’s territory, making it crucial for the country to expand its use for industrial construction. Currently, the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation is a priority region for economic growth and strategic influence, as outlined in the Spatial Development Strategy of the Russian Federation until 2028.
Aim. When designing, constructing, and operating buildings and structures on permafrost soils, the most important task is to ensure the reliability of the soil foundation.
Materials and methods. In this regard, the choice of design, technological, and organizational solutions for industrial construction, primarily the prediction of deformability, measures to ensure the stability of the soil foundation, and the development of rational organizational schemes for their implementation, should be economically feasible, optimal, or close to optimal for a specific engineering structure and the region where it is located.
Results. The possibility of using the technology of jet grouting in the main mode and in the mode of highpressure injection for the construction of artificial bases in thawed permafrost soils is substantiated.
Conclusions. The available experience shows that under certain engineering and geological conditions, jet grouting technology is an effective and reliable method for modifying soils and constructing artificial foundations.
