  • Install the packers using polymer mortar and let them set for a day.

  • After 24 hours , use Grouting pump to grout the concrete with cement slurry admixed with expansive flow agent like MC-Einpresshilfe or similar

  • Saturate all the points and remove the packers after work is done and repair with polymer mortar prepared with cement, sand , water and BSsmartbond 100.
