The primary challenge to preservation in many of our historic structures is dependent upon the stabilization of the masonry foundation and structural walls. Today’s building codes impose more stringent requirements for ductility, lateral stiffness and strength.
In the past, requirements for stabilization and structural reinforcement required unsightly or incompatible solutions that compromised the historic building fabric. Engineered grout injection is the contemporary, non-destructive, concealed and invisible answer to masonry wall improvement.
Grout injection eliminates demolition and wholesale replacement costs while significantly reducing the overall project timeline. Shoring requirements are also vastly reduced in most cases.
Highly experienced masonry restoration for:
- Strengthening of masonry foundations and walls in preservation projects
- Code compliance without replacement
- Resolution of hydrostatic infiltration in composite wall construction
- Structural crack repair
- Façade restoration
- Tectonic stabilization
Grout/Mortar Injection Technology - Compatible Injected Fill (CIF)
Masonry Grout Injection technology uses a specialized formulation of structural compounds that are injected into the voids of failing and otherwise non-compliant and structurally deficient masonry structures.
