Grouting Technology & Equipment
The latest in grouting technology and equipment from Logiball, Avanti, CETCO, Aries Industries, Prime Resins, Parson Environmental, de neef Construction Chemicals and CUES.
Logiball
The Flexible Push-Type Packer is used to test and seal lateral lines from an above ground access or cleanout. The restricted expansion between the two end bulbs allows the grout to move freely in the void leaving only a thin layer of grout in the lateral once the operation is completed. It is pushed in place with a semi-rigid 5-hose assembly. An eyebolt pulls the packer for long runs or multiple bends. The central rubber expansion is restricted to approximately ¼ inch smaller than the nominal pipe size. Packers with 3 or 5 feet grout chamber for 4- or 6-inch pipes are available; custom packers are available. The packer comes with two chemical ports, one test port, one sensor diaphragm and 50 feet of semi-rigid hose assembly. 800.246.5988, www.logiball.com
Avanti Intl.
Avanti’s AV-200 Dura-Set is a versatile two-component liquid polyurethane elastomer grout that may be sprayed, injected or troweled onto a surface. AV-200 Dura-Set combines strength and elongation with excellent chemical resistance to create a flexible rubber that is unaffected by water or UV rays. 281.486.5600, www.avantigrout.com

The One Touch Packer saves time and money on injection of chemical grouts and epoxy resins in sound or deteriorating concrete. The 10 mm One Touch Packer is a cost-effective alternative to traditional high pressure injection ports and mechanical packers. Max pressure of the packer is 5,000 psi. The head is designed to break off using a standard hammer, increasing efficiency of finishing the injection holes once injection is complete. 800.321.7212, www.primeresins.com
