Grouting

Grouting and Injection are important components of the modern era concrete construction industry.

Grouting

Construction, one of the recognized leaders in the concrete grouting and crack injection technology, has perfected the delivery of these systems over hundreds of projects. Experienced BuildIn Construction personnel are completing concrete grouting injection projects worldwide, sometimes in very challenging situations such as subzero temperatures, nuclear radiation, remote locations, leaking structures, or working with concrete contaminated with oil or other contaminants. Whatever your grouting and injection requirements are, as an experienced concrete company BuildIn has the resources (technical expertise, skilled labour, a wide selection of materials, and the right equipment) to accommodate all your needs. Some of the main grouting and injection solutions that we are involved with are:

  • Cementitious Grouting
  • Chemical Grouting

1. Cementitious Grouting

Cementitious grouting is the process where a fluid cementitious grout is pumped under pressure to fill forms, voids, and cracks. Pressure grouting using a relatively low-cost cementitious material is used to fill cracks and voids where large volumes of material are required or where high service temperatures are anticipated. Cementitious grouting is also used to bond and protect rock anchors in concrete or rock. BuildIn Construction has a wide assortment of specialized equipment for cementitious pressure grouting.

Applications: 

  • Bridges 
  • Marine Structures 
  • Hydroelectric Structures and Dams 
  • Mining and Refining 

Advantages: 

  • Excellent Performance 
  • Cost Effective Solution 
  • Permanent Solution 
  • Can be designed to provide predictable and measurable structural properties

Cementitious grouting applications that BuildIn is involved with are broken down in the following categories, which differ only by the properties of the material used and the scope of the grouting:

  • Cementitious Pressure Grouting (rock, concrete, and anchor bolt applications)
  • Microfine Cement Grouting (crack repair applications) 
  • Cement Fondue Grouting (24 hour – fast setting applications)

2. Chemical Grouting Systems

Chemical grouting systems use materials that react with water to set and are ideal for solving non-structural water leakage problems. Applications include waterproofing cracks and joints, mine shafts, sewer lines, potable water tanks and dams. Once the chemical grouting is completed the end result is a crack, joint or void that is completely filled with a flexible (rubber like) product that provides a leak resistant repair while allowing minor movements of the structure without compromising the water tightness of the repair. BuildIn Construction is well known worldwide to be a recognized leader in the chemical grouting technology. BuildIn with its wide selection of repair materials, specialized equipment and experienced technicians is able to seal cracks as small as 0.05 mm (0.002″) in width.

Applications: 

  • All concrete structures

Advantages: 

  • Seal cracks from further deterioration 
  • Stop the leakage of air, water and fluids through concrete structures 
  • Inexpensive when compared with the remove and replace option
