主权项 1. A method of installing at least one item below a ground surface, comprising: cutting through a pavement disposed on the ground surface; creating a microtrench such that it extends from the ground surface through at least a portion of an aggregate sub base below the ground surface, the microtrench defining a trench depth being approximately 12 inches and a trench width being approximately 0.75 inches; inserting at least one conduit into said microtrench such that said conduit is disposed below the ground surface; preparing a dry grout mixture including class F fly ash in a range of approximately 0 to 30% by weight of the dry grout mixture, cement kiln dust in a range of approximately 50 to 90% by weight of the dry grout, a mid-range water reducer in an amount of 0.1-8.0 fluid ounce equivalent per hundred-weight of the dry grout mixture, and a dry sodium hydroxide material in an amount of 0.2-19 dry ounces per hundred weight of the dry grout mixture; mixing said dry grout mixture with a predetermined amount of water to provide a fluid grout mixture; filling the microtrench with said fluid grout mixture to encapsulate and protect the at least one conduit; allowing said fluid grout mixture to harden and consolidate into voids in said pavement, said aggregate sub base, and said conduit to provide structural stability to any defects in said pavement, said aggregate sub base, and said conduit; allowing said fluid grout mixture to substantially remain in contact with said conduit and said walls upon hardening; placing an asphaltic sealer on top of said hardened grout material to substantially match a level of said pavement; and vacuum pulling at least one fiber optic cable into said conduit after said grout material has been placed in said microtrench.
