Vortex Companies Rebrands Grout Line to Maverick Grouts

By Trenchless Technology Staff February 24, 2026

Maverick Grouts is the new name for the Vortex Companies’ polyurethane grout line, formerly known as I&I Guard. Vortex Companies made the announcement Feb. 18 at the WWETT Show.

Maverick Grouts is a family of single- and dual-component systems engineered to solve a broad range of infrastructure challenges. This includes stopping inflow and infiltration (I&I), filling voids, stabilizing soil, and lifting settled slabs and structures.

“We chose the name Maverick to honor Scott Peterson — the driving force behind our polymerics division, and a man known around here by that nickname,” says Mike Vellano, CEO of Vortex Companies. “It also reflects how we’ve always gone to market: independently, creatively, and often in ways that challenge the traditional playbook.”

A Comprehensive Grout Portfolio for Geotechnical Applications

The Maverick Grouts family is designed for contractors and municipalities tackling complex geotechnical projects. Applications include anywhere there is inflow and infiltration, major cracks and voids, soil stabilization, curtain grouting, and lifting and leveling.

“This launch is personal for our team,” said Matthew Peterson, Sr. vice president, Coatings and Rehab Materials at Vortex Companies. “My father, Scott Peterson, developed the early formulations that became the foundation of our polymerics line. Without his expertise and ingenuity, we simply wouldn’t be where we are today. Naming this line Maverick honors the lasting impact he’s had on our culture, our products, and the way we serve the market.”
