Bibliography;
Mr. Bandimere’s involvement with the grouting industry started as a result of purchasing a defunct mudjacking company for the purpose of mudjacking patio’s driveways and other concrete flatwork associated with Mr. Bandimere’s land development and home building enterprise known as Harvest Homes Inc. 1968-1975
Due to Mr. Bandimere’s initial fascination with the mudjacking application, it soon became apparent that mudjacking and grouting posed a greater challenge to his mechanical and innate business abilities than the land development and home building business. Thus began his personal quest of working with the engineering community to develop innovative and accurate ways of using grouting as an engineering tool.
Because Mr. Bandimere did not have a technical background it was imperative that he and his staff work very close with “Engineers Of Record” on each and every project making sure Denver Grouting’s equipment and technicians were prepared to meet the challenges and technical issues demanded of them.
As Mr. Bandimere’s reputation grew among the Engineering Community, he was invited to attend the first Continuing Education Grouting Course held at the University of Missouri-Rolla in 1979. It was there that Mr. Bandimere’s interests were challenged and became convinced that any technological advancements he could contribute needed to be on an open forum and information shared with the Engineering Community.
As a result of that first grouting course, Mr. Bandimere began a career of developing new grouting equipment, writing case histories, technical papers, periodical articles etc. all in an effort of providing the Engineering Community with more reliable, cost effective and technologically advanced Ground Improvement Systems for their clients needs.
Since 1980, Mr. Bandimere has been an active member of ASCE’s GeoInstitutes Grouting Committee, American Concrete Institutes (ACI) Grouting Committee 552 and founded the grouting committee with the International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI).
Mr. Bandimere’s company Denver Grouting Services, Inc. (DGS) developed equipment that became known on an International basis as the “Denver System” for performing Compaction Grouting. His writings and lectures are considered landmark papers and some of the most well attended presentations in the Industry today. i.e. “Compaction Grouting State Of The Practice” GeoLogan 1997. Presentations at the annual Fundamentals of Grouting Course now sponsored by the University of Texas, Austin www.utclee.org/grouting “Short Courses and Conferences” just to name a few.
Mr. Bandimere has had the unique opportunity of working with geotechnical and structural engineering firms all over the U.S. (and world for that matter) with the focused purpose of providing clients with Ground Improvement solutions for difficult problems. This has resulted in a unique assimilation of “practical” knowledge and experience that has enhanced the capabilities of contractors and Engineering Firms in providing their clients with cost effective solution to otherwise impossible situations.
While Mr. Bandimere’s career forte has been to provide specialized contractual services in performing procedural operations, his resultant exposure to numerous Engineering Firms that have unique Engineering Specialists has become invaluable. Knowing when, where and how to bring different expert services and talents to the attention of a current “Engineers of Record” during the process of defining a clients problem has proven to be critical to the success of many projects.

Mr. Bandimere’s commitment is to work with Owners, Engineers and Contractors in bringing “Practical knowledge” and specialty consultants, specialized equipment etc. together at critical stages of projects. Mr. Bandimere can also help with suggested specifications and bidding document outlines and/or field operations.
The year of 2015 provided Mr Bandimere with opportunities of serving the Grouting Industry with challenging projects in the U.S., Canada and Korea.
