Ideal for bedding grout for precast concrete roadway panels

Application Methods
  •  Apply when air and substrate temperatures are between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (38°C). For applications outside this range of temperatures, contact ProSpec® Technical Services.
  • Slab Bedding Grout is a special mix formulated to meet the requirements of Slab Bedding Grout for use in the Fort Miller Co., Inc. Super Slab System®. The purpose of Slab Bedding Grout is to fill any small voids that may exist between the slab and the prepared subgrade after the "supergrading" process has been completed.
  • Slab Bedding Grout is installed by pumping into the bedding grout distribution system cast into the underside of each slab. Pump the grout into the lowest of the two connected ports and keep pumping until grout extrudes from the uphill port.
  • The bedding grout is very fluid, but the grout will take a short while to disperse beneath the slab, so that the port will need to be refilled occasionally until the level ceases dropping in the port. The refilling is easily accomplished by a laborer who tops off the ports from a pail, pouring the grout directly into the port, or into plastic funnels provided by Fort Miller for this purpose.
  • Continue with the pumping of bedding grout into each distribution channel until all the channels in each slab have been grouted. Leave the bedding grout level down 2" (51 mm) from the top of the slab (or remove grout if required) and cap off with Slab Dowel Grout.
  •  When grouting slab connectors, the Slab Dowel Grout may be driven on by construction equipment and vehicles once it has achieved 2,500 psi (17.2 MPa) regardless of the strength achieved by the Slab Bedding Grout.
  •  For Super Slab System® installations, follow installation instructions as outlined by The Fort Miller Co. Inc. (518) 695-5000 or at fortmiller.com.
