Cemplas firstly removed all loose concrete and rubble to the infill's, installed new steel reinforcement followed by pre-wetting the areas and filling the voids with Weber Cemgrout repair concrete. The grout was mixed in large mortar mixers and gravity poured in by hand. Cemplas formed a shutter all the areas underneath the slab including the slab edges to ensure that grout was not lost and kept within the defined repair areas ensuring a net and uniformed pour. Expanded foam was also used to ensure the grout stayed in place and did not travel down the hollows and open areas.
