The brick comprises ports on each face 1 which pass through the body of the brick such that when grout is pumped in to any one of the ports it will exit each of the other brick faces via the ports. There may be different sized ports within the body. Each face may have a number of ports. The brick may be cast or kiln fired. The brick may be used in the replacement or repair of bridge or tunnel linings. An existing brick may be removed, then the ported brick placed in the required position, then a grout gun applied to the port on the open face to pump in grout which discharges through the ports and into the mortar space between the existing bricks and the replacement ported brick. This gets sufficient grout in to the joints between the bricks whilst a bricklayer holds the replacement ported brick in place.
