Application

Suitable for:

  • Foundation walls.
  • Foundation slabs.
  • Tunnels.
  • Sheet piling interlock.
  • Concrete and masonry foundation walls.
  • Manholes.
  • Utility vaults.

Description

A high-solids grout consisting of a proprietary blend of bentonite and polymers, formulated for sealing water leaks in existing below-ground structures.


Features and benefits:

  • BENTOGROUT is pumped in a fluid state adjacent to the exterior of the structure, where it sets into a gelatinous state forming a waterproofing barrier.
  • Can be used to seal leaks in concrete, masonry block, brick, and stone foundations.
  • Fast and easy installation, with limited jobsite space required for injection.
  • Can be pumped from above-ground outside the structure without excavating, or from the interior of the structure through drilled holes in the walls or slabs.
  • Thick BENTOGROUT barrier covers the exterior surface of the structure, filling voids in the adjacent soil and bridging over small cracks in the concrete.
  • Ability to self-seal if the structure settles and therefore performance is not limited by future hair-line cracking in the concrete.
  • Does not shrink or dry out in sub-surface soil formations and is not affected by freeze/ thaw cycling.
  • Remains flexible, maintains a putty-like consistency over time and retains a swell potential to seal itself off.
  • Consists of natural minerals (environmentally friendly) and will last the life of the structure.
  • BENTOGROUT is intended primarily for remedial work, and requires specialist application and equipment, generally by manufacturer.
  • Application: One coat pump applied.
  • Bulk density: 881 kg/m³.
  • Bonded moisture: 12%.
  • Permeability: 5.2 x 10e-8 cm/sec.
  • Mud weight: 1.22 kg/L.
