• Prior Activities

• Prior to grouting, it will be ensured that all necessary equipment and tools are available.

• All loose dust and dirt from the concrete substrate will be removed using an air compressor.  The surfaces will be roughened by chipping or other mechanical means to assure bond of the concrete grout to existing concrete.

• It will be ensured that the surfaces to be GRP lamination shall be clean, dry and free from dust, grease, oil, dirt laitance and other contaminants.

• The substrate will be saturated with water for at least two hours before placing GRP lamination, but ensuring that there is no free standing water just before placing grout.

• Procedure

• Inspect the area of the joint required.
  • Check the ventilation for the health of worker.
  • Check if the joint area cleans free from any concrete drains.
  • Grind only the required area by disc grinder…
  • Insure all the sharp gaps filled with Vinyl ester Filler.
  • Apply one coat of Vinyl ester Resin.
  • Apply one layer of 450 g/m2 Advance ECR CSM in 100 mm wide.
  • Wet it and expend the air entrapped.
  • Repeat item (6, 7&8) another five times.
  • Apply one coat of Vinyl ester Resin.
  • Apply one layer of 300 g/m2 Advance ECR CSM.and check you got the required thickness (7mm.) .
  • Wet it and expend the air on it by Vinyl ester Resin.
  • Repeat item (10, 11&12) one more time.
  • Finally one layer of C Glass Tissue to be followed with Vinyl ester flow coat after curing.
