If a bolt anchoring system to the grout is used, the bolt pocket formers should be formed into a cone to help prevent stresses from building up when the bolts are tightened and are transmitted directly to the foundation.Д«olt pocket formers should be manufactured of materials that are simple to remove but leave a rough concrete texture when stripped. This will allow the grout to adhere to the chipped surface of the concrete with a firm bond. Bush hammering or any other equivalent approach that can fracture or damage the surface and foundation is not permitted.Д¬hipping should cover the entire area that will come in touch with the grout. The following step-by-step processes are based on the manufacturerвЂ™s recommendations and best practices for grouting application: Non-shrink grouting of the base plate Preparation of the Foundation:Д«efore installing the base plate, the concrete surface to be grouted must be prepared for chipping with a chipping hammer, grit blasting, or high-pressure water jetting, as appropriate. Preparation of cement-based non-shrink grout materials and formwork inspection shall be in accordance with specifications вЂ“ mixing, placement, sampling, testing, curing, and final inspection. Prior to the final grouting application, all installed structural steel plates and supports must have records of inspection as per the Inspection and Test Plan, as well as an accepted final alignment report. Prior to use for the actual grouting application, Non-Shrink Grout ( SikaGroutВ®-212) materials must have available records of materials receiving inspection and acceptance as per specifications. Procedure for Non-shrink Grouting General-Method Statement for Non-shrink Grouting The Construction Manager is in charge of implementing safety measures such as erecting barricades and warning signs, obtaining construction permits, etc. Ensure that all grouting activities, from materials through installation, are carried out in accordance with the quality criteria. Quality Control (QC) Inspector is responsible for providing inspection documents to the project, such as the Request for Inspection Form. The Site Manager is responsible for ensuring that all necessary requirements are fulfilled on-site, including all HSE regulations, labor, materials, and equipment, in order to complete grouting activities on time and according to project specifications. Mixing, Placement Sampling, Testing Curing, and Final Inspection.
