Portland Cements Grouting

You can repair wide cracks in gravity dams and thick concrete by filling them with Portland cement grout. TThis method effectively prevents water leaks, but it does not connect the cracked parts structurally. The procedure is to clean the concrete along the cracks. Spacing assembly sheets (grout nipples) across cracks creates a pressure-resistant connection with the infusion device—seal cracks between sheets with cement paint, sealant, or grout. Rinse and clean the cracks and test the seal. Then grout the entire area.

The grout mixture can contain cement and water or adhesive and sand and water, depending on the width of the damage. However, the cement to water ratio should be kept as low as possible to maximize strength and minimize shrinkage.

Water reducing agents or other mixtures can be used to improve the properties of the mortar. You can use a manual injection gun can be used in small quantities. For large capacities, it is necessary to use a pump. After the cracks are filled, the pressure should be maintained for a few minutes to ensure good penetration.
