Description
Uses of Vetogrout CG510
- Grouting & anchoring structural steel and
precast concrete members.
- Filling voids & tie-rod holes.
- Under-plate grouting & light machine beds.
- Anchoring a wide range of fixings such as
anchor bolts, stanchion bases, masts, and fence
posts.
Advantages of Vetogrout CG510 (Portland Cement)
- Factory-controlled pre-blend ensures
consistently high quality.
- Requires only the addition of water on-site at
the time of usage.
- Chloride-free, High early & ultimate strength,
and low permeability ensure the durability of
the hardened grout.
- High physical and mechanical properties.
- Non-shrink characteristics.
- Gaseous expansion system compensates for
shrinkage and settlement in the plastic state.
SHELF LIFE & STORAGE
The original sealed bag of Vetogrout CG510 has a shelf life of 12 months, provided it is stored clear of ground in a dry and shaded place, at temperatures between 5ºC – 35ºC.
HOW TO USE:
Design Considerations
Vetogrout CG510 can be used at thickness between
10 and 100 mm. Vetogrout CG510 can be used in 3
consistencies: Trowellable, Flowable, and fluid states
by slightly adjusting water:powder ratio, the quoted
values above are based on fluid consistency. The
technical properties will vary slightly (positively in
terms of strength)according to the chosen consistency.
When grouting under-plates or machine beds, a hopper
system is needed to ensure enough pressure head
exists for the grout to flow the required travel distance.
It is important to keep unrestrained grout area to a
minimum to avoid cracking.
Surface Preparation
The surface should be sound, clean, free from loose
material, grease, laitance, dirt curing compound, etc.
Wet the substrate to achieve a saturated and surface
dry condition before the application of Vetogrout
CG510. Erect hopper system and form-work, make sure
that the shuttering is watertight using a polyurethane
sealant such as Vetofl ex PU780 or a rubber gasket seal.
This step is important to ensure no cement paste and
water leak from the shuttering. Contact your Saveto’s
local representative for more technical information,
Saveto’s grouting detailed method statement, and CAD
details.
The base plate must be clean and free from oil, grease,
or scale. Air pressure relief holes should be provided to
allow venting of any isolated high spots.
If leveling shims are used and removed after the grout
has hardened, they should be treated with a thin layer
of grease.
Unrestrained Surface Area
Generally, the gap width between the perimeter form-
work and the plate edge should not exceed 150 mm on
the pouring side and 50 mm on the opposite side. It is
advisable where practical to have no gap at the flank
sides.
Mixing
For best results, use a mechanically powered grout
mixer. When quantities up to 50kg are used, a slow-
speed drill fitted with a high shear mixer is suitable.
Larger quantities will require a high shear vane mixer.
Do not use a colloidal impeller mixer.
To enable a smooth and continuous grouting operation,
a sufficient mixing capacity and labor should be
available. The application may require a grout holding
tank with a provision to gently agitate the grout.
The quantity of water required for each 25kg bag to
achieve the desired consistency is:
Trowel 3 – 3.25 Liters
Flow 3.5 – 3.75 Liters
Fluid 4 – 4.5 Liters
Measure the selected water content accurately in the
mixer. Slowly add the total contents of the Vetogrout
CG510 bag with continuous mixing for 5 minutes.
This will ensure that the grout has a smooth, even
consistency.
Placing
At 25oC, place the grout within 20 minutes of mixing to
gain the full benefit of the expansion process.
Vetogrout CG510 can be placed in thicknesses up to
100mm in a single pour when used as an under-plate
grout. For thicker sections, it is necessary to fill out
Vetogrout CG510 with well-graded silt-free aggregate
to minimize heat build-up. Typically a 10mm aggregate
is suitable. Any bolt pockets must be grouted before
grouting between the substrate and the base plate.
Continuous grout flow is essential. Prepare sufficient
grout before starting. Regulate the time taken to pour
a batch to the time to prepare the next one.
Curing
Upon completing the grouting process, cover the
exposed areas well with polyethylene sheets to prevent
evaporation of the mixture water for the first 24 hours;
later, cure the grouted area using clean water twice a
day for 3 days. Or you can use the Vetocure XT425, a
water-based curing compound, after placing the grout.
Cleaning
Remove Vetogrout CG510 from tools and equipment
with clean water immediately after use. Remove the
cured material mechanically.
