Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2672016A1] The invention refers to a grout seal for sealing the annular space (8) between two concentrically placed foundation members of an offshore structure. The grout seal includes at least one resilient primary sealing member attached to the inner wall of an outer foundation member, said primary sealing member extending peripherally within the annular space (8) between the foundation members and resting against an outer wall of the inner foundation member in order to seal a grout (13) against the ingress of water and to secure said grout (13) against egress into water. The grout seal includes at least one elastically compressible secondary sealing member (11) directly exposed to said grout (13) and being arranged in a fashion that allows said secondary sealing member (11) to be at least partially radially compressed by the pressure exerted by the grout mass.
