Apparently ready mix suppliers are having trouble getting slag and flyash around my parts.
My contractor is asking me if it's ok to omit slag from augercast pile grout mix.
I couldn't find anything in ACI that specifically requires it, or prohibits omission.
Assuming the design strength is achieved and there's statistical backup data - is there any reason not to approve this?
Construction is about 600 yards away from the coast.

Does your contractor have a mix design ready for the case there is no slag or flyash as SCM? Beyond the breaks, I'd be concerned about resistance to sulphates and chlorides.
