4.2.2.2 Grout the sub-base
Non-shrink grout is recommended for this procedure.
WARNING:
Follow grout manufacturers SDS sheets for recommended PPE.
1.
Inspect the foundation for dust, dirt, oil, chips, and water.
2.
Remove any contaminants.
Do not use oil-based cleaners since they do not bond well with grout. Refer to the instructions from
the grout manufacturer.
3.
Build a dam around the foundation.
4.
Thoroughly wet the foundation.
5.
Pour grout to a minimum thickness of 9.520 mm | 0.375 in. between the sub-base and concrete
foundation, up to the level of the dam.
6.
Remove any air bubbles from the grout as it is poured by either puddling, using a vibrator, or pump-
ing the grout into place.
7.
Allow the grout to set at least 48 hours.
8.
Tighten the foundation bolts to the torque value provided on the pump general arrangement draw-
