ABSTRACT:
An inflatable packer and method for sealing the annulus between an outer member and a pile driven therethrough. The inflatable packer comprises a packer housing, first and second guide rings secured within the packer housing, and an inflatable packer member having its ends secured from axial movement within the packer housing by the first and second guide rings. The method of sealing an annulus between an outer member and a pile driven therethrough comprises the steps of sealing the annulus at a first location, injecting gas into the annulus to expel any material contained within the annulus, sealing the annulus at a second location which is free of material, venting the annulus between the first location and second location while maintaining the annulus free of any material, and injecting grouting material into the annulus between the first location and second location.
