THE GROUT LINE
And I finish not with my memories that
can be quite tedious, but only adding a
couple of pictures I took of the grout-
ing gallery, several times mentioned in
the article, during the time of con-
struction.
Same request, as usual, asking you to
send me your grouting comments or
grouting stories or case histories. My
coordinates remain: Paolo Gazzarrini,
or

Ciao! Cheers!

The socio-political conditions in
Northern Iraq make it difficult for pro-
curement of skilled labor, equipment,
materials and modern technology at a
fast pace. However, the use of modern
day grouting practices and technology
is essential to address the issues pres-
ent at Mosul Dam in a time-sensitive
fashion in order to reduce the risk to
the safety and prosperity of Iraq. This
is certainly an epoch in the making.
