Football Team Field House SealBoss Grout Injection
Sam Houston State University authorized renovations to the Football team’s Field House and Locker Room area.
The scope included the installation of masonry walls and the capping of old Pipe Penetrations. The Contractor was asked to cut out the existing Pipe Penetrations and to fill them with a grout patch first, and then drill a ½” hole through the patch and inject behind the grout patch to ensure the cap was watertight.
The exact procedure was specified by the project engineer. The project contractor asked SealBoss for technical on the job assistance with the specified injection procedure.
In addition, other repair methods to seal off the Pipe Penetrations using SwellCaulk and Oakum were also covered during the training.
- Location: Sam Houston State University – Huntsville, Texas
Repair Method as Specified:
Once the grout patch was fully cured, the contractor drilled a ½” hole through the center of the grout and vacuumed any debris from the hole followed by flushing the hole using a water bottle with a hole in the lid to create a pressured stream. One the hole had been flushed out, the ½” SealBoss Evolution 13-100AL injection packer was installed.
The SealBoss P2002 pump was then used to pressure inject the SealBoss 1510 Water Stop Foam System into the cavity behind the patch to create an airtight and watertight plug that would stop any water from mitigating through the patch.
Which Products Do I Need for my Job?
There is no single resin that will suit all conditions. The correct resin must be used to achieve the best results possible and to meet the requirements of the specification.
Our chemical grouting injection systems offer solutions to problems found in geotechnical applications, in tunneling, waterproofing underground works and civil engineering in general.

Fargo Storage Facility
A storage facility is being constructed in Fargo, ND. They are using a Vapor barrier, insulation, adobe bricks, and pan decking. The advantage of using a Vapor Barrier is it limits the amount of moisture and gas entering the structure. If Vapor Barrier is not used the concrete deteriorates faster, leading to building failure.
