3. Forming:
• Forming must be completed and installed before starting to pour grout.
• Forms shall be slightly larger (six to seven inches) than the dimension of the load cell base
plate or checking stand.
• Forms shall be of sufficient strength, anchored properly, and sealed. Seal with caulk and
use a form release agent on forms if required. Leave access for pouring grout in a convenient
place.
4. Mixing and Pouring:
• Mix grout per the manufacturers instructions until a very smooth, pourable mix is obtained.
Be sure you mix enough quantity for the form you are filling.
• If necessary, use a large funnel or cone to direct mix into form and under stands.
• Pour the grout mix from one end until it fully reaches the other side and rises to fill the form
completely. By using this method, there will be no gaps or air pockets. Vibrators are not
recommended due to the danger of disturbing the placement of the load cell base plate(s).
Ensure the grout mixture totally fills all voids.
