APPLICATION
Grouting application shall be performed in accordance with American Concrete Institute (ACI) 351.1R: Grouting between Foundations and Bases for Support of Equipment and Machinery and other applicable ACI recommendations. Minimum application thickness is 1/2″ (12.7 mm).
Do not apply to frost covered concrete. Protect from freezing by use of insulated or electric curing blanket, external heating, or other suitable method for up to three days after application. Follow cold temperature application procedure ACI 306, “Standard on cold weather concreting” if both the daily temperature falls below 40° F (23.9° C) and the air temperature does not rise above 50° F (23.9° C) for more than 12 hours in any 24-hour period for three consecutive days prior to insulation. Also see COLD-WEATHER GUIDELINE: REPAIR MORTARS AND NON-SHRINK GROUTS.
Follow ACI 305 – “Standard on hot weather concreting” if conditions existing for rapid water loss which includes high air temperature, high winds, direct sun or low humidity. Also see HOT-WEATHER GUIDELINE: REPAIR MORTARS AND NON-SHRINK GROUTS.
Surface Preparation … Prepare concrete substrate in accordance with ICRI Technical Guideline No 310.2-1997: Specifying Concrete Surface Preparation for Sealers, Coatings, and Polymer Overlays. Mechanically roughen or high pressure water-jet the existing concrete substrate to an ICRI concrete surface profile (CSP) of CSP-4 or higher. Remove all unsound concrete and provide a profiled, porous surface. The substrate must also be structurally sound, dust-free, and free of grease, oil, dirt, curing compounds, release agents, or any other surface or penetrated contaminants, coatings, or similar materials that will adversely affect the bond. Sanding or wire-brushing are not approved concrete surface preparation methods. Substrate must be brought to a fully saturated, surface dry (SSD) condition and free of standing water during the entire application of the grout. Abrasive blast the steel base-plates or any steel that will come in contact with the CG-86 N.E. to a white metal finish.
Placement … Mix only small quantities of CG-86 N.E. by hand until lump-free. Mechanically mix with a high torque, low speed drill (400 – 600 rpm) and paddle or paddle-type mortar mixer. Mix for a minimum of three minutes or until uniform and lump-free. Use the minimum water required to produce desired placement consistency. Do not mix more than can be placed in 15 minutes. Do not re-temper. Use only clean, potable water.
Aggregate Extension… When grouting large areas, extend CG-86 N.E. with washed, dried, well-graded, non-reactive, dense pea gravel. For thicknesses 2 – 4″ (50.8 – 101.6 mm), add up to 25% 3/8″ (9.5 mm) pea gravel. For medium-flow mixes, 4″ (50.8 mm) and over, add up to 50% 3/8″ (9.5 mm) pea gravel. The addition of pea gravel is based on percentage of the weight of the dry grout. The use of aggregate to extend the CG-86 N.E. will reduce flow and pumping characteristics. A well graded aggregate conforming to table 2 of ASTM C33, Size Number 8 will help to minimize loss of flow and pumping characteristics.
Mixing … Small quantities of CG-86 N.E. may be hand mixed in a concrete mixing pan until lump-free. For large quantities and continuous pours, use a mortar mixer with rubber-tipped blades. Mix for a minimum of three minutes or until uniform and lump-free. Use minimum water required to produce desired placement consistency. Do not mix more than can be placed in 15 minutes. Do not re-temper. Use only clean, potable water.
To achieve a plastic consistency, mix 2.5 quarts (2.36 L) of cool, potable water per bag. For a flowable consistency, mix 3.1 quarts (2.92 L) of cool, potable water per bag. Always add 2/3 of the required mixing water for desired consistency to the mixing vessel prior to adding the powder. Slowly add the powder and mix for 2 – 3 minutes and adjust the consistency using the remaining 1/3 allowable water. Continue mixing until homogenous and lump free.
Forming … Standard hard wood, exterior grade wood or metal forming may be used. The forms should be coated with form release agent for easy removal. The form edges should be caulked and sealed to a liquid-tight condition. Forms must be designed to provide a hydraulic head. Forming must also ensure adequate venting to avoid air entrapment. Do not make close fitting forms; allow 1/2″ (12.7 mm) clearance and 1″ (25.4 mm) for head. The forms should be placed between 2 – 6″ (50.8 – 152.4 mm) away from the perimeter of the machine base to allow for air to escape and to provide for a grout shoulder around the base plate.
CG-86 N.E. is easily placed by pouring or pumping and compaction can be accomplished by rodding or tapping. Place grout on one side, flowing to opposite and adjacent sides, to avoid entrapment of air. Grout head and excess grout may be removed after initial set. Remove the forms after the grout has sufficiently hardened (4 – 10 hours depending on temperature) to avoid damaging and trim edges to desired profile.
Pumping … CG-86 N.E., when mixed to a flowable to fluid consistency without the addition of aggregate, can be pumped using a suitable grout/mortar pump such as QuickSpray, Inc. (www.quikspray.com) Carrousel Pump 15023 GR3 and UB3 U-Blend Mixer® Combination with a minimum 1.5″ (38.1 mm) diameter hose. Air compressor requirement is a minimum 125 LFM and 90 psi. Consult pump manufacturer for details on specific pumping instructions for their particular equipment.
If CG-86 N.E. has been extended with aggregate, ensure that the pump type is designed to handle the size and characteristics of the coarse aggregate. Ensure that the pump is equipped with a suitable Rock Valve™ or S-Valve or similar style pump designed to process coarse aggregate. Mortar or standard-type grout pumps should not be used to pump CG-86 N.E. that has been extended with aggregate, since these types of pumps are not designed to process aggregates.
Curing … Immediately following application, cure CG-86 N.E. using a suitable curing compound from W. R. MEADOWS or in accordance with ACI 308. W. R. MEADOWS recommends VOCOMP-30, 2200-WHITE series, or 1130-CLEAR. When conditions exist for rapid early water loss, the use of EVAPRE™, an evaporation retarder from W. R. MEADOWS, is also recommended.
PRECAUTIONS
Do not use as a repair mortar, overlay or underlayment. Please contact W. R. MEADOWS for specific repair mortar recommendations. Set time, flow and strength development are highly dependent on temperature. Colder temperatures will increase set time and delay compressive strength gain. Generally, set time will increase for every 10° F difference from 75° F in grout temperature by 30%. For example, at 65° F, CG-86 mixed to flowable consistency will have an approximate set time of 6.5 – 9 hours as compared to 5 – 7 hours stated for 75° F. Compressive strength development will be delayed up to 60% in cold temperatures versus 75° F at a given cure time and mix ratio. Grouting should be done using established concreting procedures according to ACI recommendations. Read and follow application information, precautions and Safety Data Sheet information. As with all cement-based materials, avoid direct contact with aluminum or similar type reactive metals. If contact must occur, coat the aluminum or other reactive metals with REZI-WELD 1000 or REZI-WELD LV from W. R. MEADOWS.
This data sheet provides a summary of the factors, precautions, limitations, and design theories that should be considered when designing a grouting application, but is not stand alone or complete; project, environmental, and application specific requirements must be considered before drafting a guide specification, determining suitability or application of material. The suitability and/or functionality of the product are the direct and sole responsibility of the licensed design professional, applicator, and/or installer of the product. W. R. MEADOWS is not directly or indirectly acting in any manner as the project licensed design professional, such as, but not limited to, a professional engineer, a licensed architect, and/or a consultant.
