Requirements:
The Pre-packaged cement based grout shall have a minimum compressive strength of 3500psi
(28Mpa) at 7 days and 5000psi (35Mpa) at 28 days.
Actual compressive strength shall be obtained thru laboratory testing (by a Saudi Aramco
approved ITL) in which test samples are taken in the field at 2 sets of 3 cubes each day where
grout is mixed placed.
The test cubes shall be provided with the same curing treatment as with the placed grouts to
obtain uniformity of strength attained.
Water curing shall be continuous.
In this grouting procedure, the manufacturer’s written instructions shall be strictly followed;
from stocking, mixing through to application and curing.
5.2.1 Grout mixing procedure and quantity of water to be added shall be in accordance to the
Concrete foundation and surface preparations shall be in accordance with the grout
Manufacturer’s written instructions, if provided.
The concrete shall already be cured for a minimum of seven (7) days before surface
preparation for grouting.
Remove laitance, oil-soaked or damaged surfaces down to sound concrete by chipping to the
level of sound fractured aggregate or to a minimum of the top 25 mm. of the concrete.
As possible, removal of dust and loose particles shall be by clean, dry, oil-free compressed air.
Where required grout formwork shall be constructed with adequate strength, rigidity and
required dimensions to permit grout placement and avoid leakage.
A bond breaker shall be applied to the formwork that will be in contact with the grout.
The concrete surfaces in contact with the grout shall be saturated with clean water and shall be
damp but free from standing water before grout placement.
