Our team provides services to both private and municipal clients as a critical component in achieving high-quality, functional, and visually appealing structures that can withstand environmental factors.

Grouting

A project may call for grouting when soil permeability could create a heavy demand on pumping. We may also use grout in the formation of pile foundations, ground anchors, and other applications.

Which materials we use for grouting depends on a few variables. The soil, the rock type, and the area that needs to be grouted will all factor into the decision. Regardless of the material used, the process doesn’t change. Soil or rock will be injected with grout, which will set and act as a sealant.

Western Grater offers a wide range of grouting services and has the experience and equipment to get the job done safely and efficiently. Our grout pumps are suitable for a multitude of grout and concrete mixes, and we have the tooling needed to ensure accurate placement.

We offer a variety of grouting services, including:
