Anchoring & Grouting
Function of Grout:
The function of a grout is to fill cavities. It is essential that the grout fills the cavity completely and permanently.
The shape, size and situation of the cavity will dictate:
- The method of grouting.
- The grout characteristics
The reasons of filling the cavity will dictate the characteristics required of the hardened grout, such as:
- To provide or restore continuity of strength or transfer of load across the cavity (e.g. compressive strength)
- To provide a seal against either water ingress or passage into or across the cavity (e.g. water permeability)
- Sand/Cement and Expansive Admixture Grout (Site Batching)
- Non Shrink high performance Cementitious Grouts – General Purpose
- Epoxy grouts
- Anchoring Mortars
