Reinforcement, Restoration, and Preservation of Structural Brick and Stone

Masonry Grout Injection contractors use a specialized formulation of structural compounds that are injected into the voids of failing and otherwise non-compliant and structurally deficient masonry structures.

The objective structural section is drilled at strategic points. A proprietary microcrystalline grout material is injected through the use of low-pressure injection equipment that is uniquely customized for each application.

When properly injected by our expert technicians, the CIF fills all voids in a failing masonry assembly. Where façade wall separation is present, helical wall ties are inserted to mechanically reconnect interior and exterior wythes of brick, block, or stone. Once injected with an appropriate CIF, a monolithic bond between interior and exterior masonry wythes is achieved that meets or exceeds the building code.

Benefits of Masonry Grout Injection

Invisible solution that preserves the historic fabric of aging structures

Crystalized grout injection, used in hundreds of historic restoration projects throughout the world, assures structural stability and mitigates water damage. The grout injection process assures code compliance while preserving the historic fabric of the site.

Low Cost

Engineering, excavation demolition, temporary reinforcement, and associated replacement costs are eliminated.

Consider the challenges of temporarily stabilizing and supporting a delicate wall or foundation of stone or brick

Removing the materials, excavating fill (mostly by hand), then replacing the walls and attempting to achieve a look consistent with what may have just been removed.

Solves moisture infiltration permanently

The grout and crystal formula is modulated to meet the exact requirements to fill and expand in wall voids.

Meets or exceeds code requirements

Injection is the preferred method for stabilization of deficient, inferior, or deteriorating masonry.

Fast

The time associated with replacement versus injection can mean days instead of months on a construction schedule.

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.

When used in conjunction with our proprietary microcrystalline formulation, this contemporary process heals masonry walls and foundations. Primarily used in historic or otherwise deteriorating structures, masonry, brick, and stone are reinforced to meet and will likely exceed current code requirements.
This fast, very economical, and efficient process boosts the seismic integrity of damaged or deteriorating masonry walls. The process is excellent for use on porous foundations to completely eliminate the opportunity for water problems.

The process involves the drilling of simple injection ports at predetermined points within the perimeter of the area to be repaired. The grout formulation is injected into the voids and the microcrystals expand to completely fill the voids. Once cured, the repair can be certified as a monolithic structure.

The Masonry Grout Injection team includes engineers and restoration veterans. These experts have years of experience working on historic projects and stabilizing cracked, damaged, or substandard walls bringing them up to code without compromising the historic fabric of the site.
