Application - points of note

Fosroc operates a policy to encourage the use, where possible, of approved or licensed applicators.
This ensures that works are completed satisfactorily so that the long-term performance of the
materials is assured. For contractors who wish to apply the materials themselves Fosroc is also able
to offer technical assistance and training, either on-site or at its Training Centre in Dubai.

Application Method

1.0 Surface Preparation

Attention to full and proper preparation is essential to successful grouting.

1.1 The substrate surface must be free from oil, grease or any loosely adherent material.

1.2 Remove laitance, defective surfaces must be cut back to a sound base.

1.3 Blow clean all bolt holes or fixing pockets of any dirt or debris.

2.0 Bearing plate/base plate

2.1 The underside of the base plate should be clean and free from oil, grease, rust, scale or other
loosely adherent material.

2.2 It maybe necessary to provide air pressure relief holes to allow venting of any isolated high
spots.

2.3 If levelling shims are to be removed once the grout has hardened, then they should be pre-
treated with a thin layer of grease.

3.0 Formwork - general

3.1 Before fixing any formwork, ensure that the area to be grouted is clean.

3.2 The formwork itself must be constructed to be leak proof, to prevent any possible grout loss.
This can be achieved by using foam rubber strip or mastic sealant beneath the formwork, and
at any joints in the formwork. It shall, however, also be provided with drain holes and plugs.

3.3 The formwork should also be constructed in such a way as to keep the final, unrestrained
surface area of the grout to a minimum, to avoid problems with cracking at a later
stage.

Page 2 of 5
 constructive solutions

3.4 It should be fixed in such a way as to allow easy stripping, without causing damage or
distress to the grout - particularly if this is to be done whilst the grout is still „green‟.

3.5 All dirt and debris to be removed from the grout area before the last piece of formwork is
fixed, to facilitate pre-soaking (see below).

4.0 Formwork - geometry

4.1 Pouring side

- set up so that grout will be poured the shortest distance across the base plate

- erected a maximum of 75 mm from the base plate edge

- erected a minimum of 150 mm higher than the underside of the base plate

4.2 Open side

- set up directly opposite the pouring side

- erected a minimum of 25 mm from the underside of the plate

- provide grout outlets at this end to allow the grout to seep through. Plugs should be made
available to suit these openings.

4.3 Flanking sides

- set up flush with the plate edge

- close attention to „grout tightness‟ of the formwork

5.0 Pre-soaking

5.1 All concrete surfaces within the formwork area should be saturated with clean, fresh water for
several hours prior to grouting.

5.2 Immediately before grouting takes place, any free water should be removed. Particular care
should be taken to blow out all boltholes and pockets.

Page 3 of 5
 constructive solutions

6.0 Mixing

6.1 For best results a mechanically powered grout mixer should be used - do not use a colloidal
impeller mixer.

6.2 For small quantities of grout a slow speed drill (400/500 rpm) fitted with a high shear paddle
is acceptable, but mixing should be restricted to one bag at a time in a container of minimum
capacity 25 litres.

6.3 Measure out 3 litres of clean water into the mixer.

6.4 Slowly add the full 25kg Conbextra TS bag to the water and mix continuously for 3 - 5
minutes, until a smooth, free flowing consistency is obtained.

6.5 Under no circumstances should part bags be used, or additional water employed. Either of
these two actions will change the water:powder ratio, adversely affecting material
performance and automatically invalidating Fosroc‟s standard product guarantee.

7.0 Placing

7.1 It is essential that the machine mixing capacity, material supply and labour availability is
adequate to enable the grouting operation to be carried out continuously. This may require
the use of a holding tank, with provision for gentle agitation to maintain fluidity.

7.2 Immediately prior to placement, the mixed grout should be briefly agitated to release any
surface tension. Place the grout within 45 minutes of mixing to gain the full benefit of the
expansion process.

7.3 Any bolt pockets must be grouted prior to grouting between the substrate and the base plate.

7.4 Continuous grout flow during the grouting operation is essential. Sufficient grout must be
available prior to starting, and time taken to pour a batch must be regulated to the time taken
to prepare the next one.

7.5 The mixed grout should be poured only from one side of the void to eliminate the entrapment
of air, or surplus pre-soaking water. The grout head must be maintained at all times so that a
continuous grout front is achieved.

7.6 When the grout reaches the open side of the formwork, and rises above the underside of the
base plate, pouring should continue slowly down the length of the base plate until completed.

Page 4 of 5
 constructive solutions

8.0 Finishing

8.1 Wherever possible unrestrained “shoulders” are to be avoided. These have a tendency to
crack and/or debond, due to their unrestrained nature.

9.0 Curing

9.1 On completion of the grouting operation, all exposed areas of grout should be thoroughly
cured. For best results use concure curing membrane, continuous application of water
and/or wet hessian.

C: Approval and variations

This method statement is offered by Fosroc as a „standard proposal‟ for „Conbextra TS. It remains
the responsibility of the Engineer to determine the correct method for any given grouting operation.

Where alternative methods are to be used, these must be submitted to Fosroc for approval, in
writing, prior to commencement of any work. Fosroc will not accept responsibility or liability for
variations to the above method statement under any other condition.
