Grout Lift

Grout Lift

An increment of height that grout is poured, used in masonry or concrete structures to ensure proper compaction and bonding.

Definition

An increment of height that grout is poured.

Grout lifts are used to fill vertical cavities in masonry or concrete structures incrementally, ensuring proper compaction and bonding.

Masonry Walls: Pouring grout lifts in CMU (concrete masonry unit) walls to reinforce and fill voids.
Concrete Columns: Incrementally grouting the space around rebar to ensure full coverage and structural integrity.
Structural Repairs: Filling cracks or voids in existing structures by applying grout in lifts.

Grouting: The process of injecting or pouring grout into spaces or cavities.
Concrete: A composite material composed of coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that hardens over time.
Masonry: Building structures from individual units of stone, brick, or block.

Grout lifts should be done in layers that allow each lift to set properly before adding more grout to avoid collapse or improper bonding.
