Grout Production Using Volumetric Mixing Plants
Grout production is one of the areas where the Throop Company mobile volumetric mixing batch plant equipment exceeds in producing. We mix all brands and types of grout. Aggregates can be added to extend the grout for thicker applications. We can produce from 1 to 10 cubic yards or more per location using our customized volumetric concrete mixing equipment.
Grout is commonly used in oil refineries. It is also used under machine base plates, in precast concrete construction, for anchoring helical pull down piles, in fire hydrant anchoring, and where concrete is too coarse or difficult to place.
We have had extensive experience with the following grouts
- Five Star grout
- Quikrete grout
- Unisorb grout
- Sika grout
- Non-crete grout
- FastSet Non-Shrink grout
- Non-Shrink Precision grout
- Core-fill Masonry grout
- High Strength grout
- High Density grout
- Hybrid grout
- And more
Tests are always done before the final application to ensure slump or quality color matching.
Emergency Repair Producing Grout Santa Ana Police Facility City of Santa Ana, California
A new high rise police facility was under construction when a rare storm hit Orange County, California. Over two million gallons of water washed out of the base under a ground floor slab. This left voids from 4″-18″ deep under the slab. Goss Construction called upon the George L. Throop Company to produce a grout mixture of Type II cement, fly ash, and it had to be a type of cement that had expansive qualities. Just less than 40 cubic yards was produced before noon to complete the filling of the voids. The Throop Company equipment was well suited for this project. There was no waste. We mixed exactly what was needed and we were able to stop, start and move the grouting equipment inside and outside the building as needed. Goss personnel told us they tried to do this with a normal ready-mix truck but, unfortunately, most of the mix stuck to the fins and was a complete failure. We were able to complete the project quickly with no waste and we had very happy clients to top it off!
Placing Grout at Machinery Bases for New Production Facility Mitsubishi Steel Fabrication Plant Santa Fe Springs, California
Industrial Contracting Engineers contacted the George L. Throop Company to mix large quantities of Unisorb grout and place it through our concrete pump to place it at numerous machine bases. Due to the thickness of the forms, pea rock was added to the mix, to increase it 50% by weight and to help the flowability and stability. This grout was excellent for this application because it will have a long pot life thereby allowing the finishers to have time to get their job done. Unisorb had a representative on-site to approve the consistency. Our equipment allowed the production to stop and start the pour which helped us to be more accurate and to not create any extra waste.
