The Millennium Bridge, London UK

Slightly expansive, high performance grouts feature non-metallic chemistry so avoiding potential dimension instability, corrosion and staining in the future.

Thurrock Viaduct, Essex UK

Weber duct grout was used on this 1.2 km viaduct where post-tensioned ducts were grouted in lengths of 90 metres. In some areas along the viaduct the grout lengths increased to 135 metres.

The French Embassy, London UK

An existing five-storey building housing the French consulate required protection with a system able to cope with movement within the building fabric. The ideal solution was a highly elastomeric coating to protect and enhance the appearance of the building facade.

 

Precision grouting

Equipment and machinery which have precise tolerances for alignment or require uniform support cannot be placed directly on finished concrete surfaces. Both the concrete surface and the machine base have irregularities which result in alignment difficulties and bearing load concentrations.

For this reason, machine bases or soleplates are aligned and levelled by shimming or other means and the resulting space between the machine base and the foundation is filled with a load transfer material. The load-transfer materials most frequently used are hydraulic cement and epoxy grouts.

Teknika can also recommend structural adhesives that are used to adhere concrete segments in bridge-building or help you choose the right grout for your project’s post-tensioned ducts.
