DO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD CARRY ON WITHOUT CHANGE?

If you chose to continue with 0.8:1 grout after the first 15 minutes it is certainly time to thicken to 0.6:1. Otherwise far too much water is being injected.
However, if you were using 0.6:1 it would be best to thicken to 0.5:1 if you assume that the mixer can handle such a thick mix .

IF YOU HAVE BEEN USING 0.8:1 YOU SHOULD THICKEN to 0.6:1..

BUT IF YOU HAVE BEEN USING 0.6:1 AND YOUR DECISION IS TO CARRY ON WITHOUT CHANGE
IT IS TOLERABLE BUT NOT THE BEST.

It is necessary to decide what to do next. The choice is from one of the following:

  1. Let the simulation decide what to do next.
  2. Carry on grouting without change.
  3. Thicken the mix
