Grouting Works: Dfcu - HRRL Project, Rajasthan

This document provides specifications for grouting works on the DFCU-HRRL project in Rajasthan. It outlines three types of grout - cement-sand grout, non-shrink cementitious grout, and epoxy grout. For each grout type, it specifies materials, properties, surface preparation, formwork, mixing, placement, curing, and testing requirements. Cube samples will be made and tested according to ASTM standards to ensure the compressive strength of the installed grouts meet the project requirements.
