Batching onsite with a masonry grout pump
Core Filling With a Masonry Grout Pump
BY TODD FERGUSON
Mason contractors can accomplish structural reinforcement core filling requirements by pumping grout or mortar with a masonry grout pump. Using a masonry grout pump can be beneficial to the mason contractor in several instances, such as:
Barriers on the job prevent a grout delivery system from being lifted into place.
Freeing up a forklift/telehandler is seen as an advantage.
Labor for bucketing or using grout bags is not an option.
The job volume and equipment budget do not warrant a full-sized concrete pump or grout delivery system.
Desire for portability of a smaller masonry grout pump to the jobsite and use of a self-propelled machine on the jobsite.
