GROUTING WIDE CRACKS
IN A TROUBLE-FREE APPLICATION

DO YOU THINK YOU SHOULD THICKEN THE GROUT?

Large PLOT 045.gif -

If you have chosen 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 JUST BEEN USING 0.8:1 OR 0.6:1 YOU SHOULD THICKEN TO 0.5:1 IF THE MIXER CAN HANDLE IT.

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.
