Repairs
Repairs can be defined as re-instating the structure back in to its existing status by strengthening it to perform for which it is designed for. Repairs can be further differentiated in to Structural Repair and General Building repair:

yy 2-part High Ultimate Strength Repair mortars (generally

used for structural repair)

Structural repairs are the systems used to strengthen the building to increase its performance life and may be re-instating it into stable condition due to de-stressed happened by various reasons; e.g. Bad Constructions practices, Physical/Mechanical abuses, earthquakes etc. General Repairs are those adopted to repair small areas e.g. re-surfacing, re-jacketing the RCC members (Nonstructural) mainly related to waterproofing needs and can be considered as cosmetic methods to bring the structure back in to good conditions.

Cleaning of Equipment & Precautions yy Wash the pump & the hose-set with a PU cleaner post the
grouting operation is complete

yy Rinse the same with a PU lubricant yy Retain the lubricant in the hose-set & pump until further
use Following a complete injection of all mechanical packers to refusal and where the visible leakage has been completely eradicated, remove all injection packers. Remove cured material where applicable and fill injection hole with rapid cement.

yy Clean all adjacent areas of excess material, powder,

cement and/or droppings. Chemicals used for cleaning shall be non-hazardous and non-flammable

Pumping the injection grout yy Rinse the pump using a PU lubricant yy Fill the PU mixture into the pumping container yy Initiate pumping on a low pressure & gradually build up
the pumping pressure suitably

yy Process grout materials using appropriate protective

gear including gloves, masks, or goggles, and appropriate clothing as described and in accordance with the manufacturers MSDS sheets

yy Follow manufacturers recommendations for product

safety and disposal of material The choice of PU injection grout (foam/resin) will be determined by the severity of leakage. As such Dr. Fixit PU Foam Injection/Dr. Fixit PU Plain Injection may be used suitably

yy Stop pumping if back pressure is sensed or if the grout

has oozed out of the adjoining hole

ARRESTING DRIP LEAKAGE USING dr. fiXiT PU fOaM / plaiN INJECTION GROUT

Identify the area of dripping

Mark the spots for injection grouting. If leakage is through a crack mark grouting points along the crack in a staggered manner. If the leakage is across the area mark grouting spots in a grid pattern

Drill grouting holes so as to neatly fit the injection packers. Drilling to be done at an angle of 45o to the plane of grouting surface

Fix the packers & seal the grouting point using epoxy putty

Use Dr. Fixit PU Foam/Plain Injection, mixed as per the manufacturers instructions. Inject the mix at a pressure of 3-5 bar

Once the injection grouting process is complete, cut the packer & seal the grouting hole with epoxy putty

Clean the equipment using a PU cleansing compound
