The Constructional Exercises in a few specific territories regularly request profound
establishments in light of the poor designing properties and the related issues emerging from
powerless soil at profound profundities. The low bearing limit of the establishment bed
causes shear disappointment and extreme settlements. Two Plate Load Tests one on Indore
side and other on Ujjain side are conducted at 5.5m and 4.5m depth below ground level by
using plates of 30 x 30cm and 45 x 45cm size respectively. Moreover CBR test is also
performed on both sides. This paper illustrates about grouting as one of the conceivable
answers for the establishment issues by enhancing the properties of soil at profound
profundities by utilizing Lime.
