Concrete Repair

In this article we talk about the differences between concrete repair and concrete strengthening, two different things often performed together.

Whether it is for pedestrians to walk across, or for vehicles to drive, bridges serve an important purpose in our lives.

Buildings need to be maintained against many factors such environmental factors, deterioration, and everyday wear and use. Structural Monitoring is a technique that has emerged to help monitor the ongoing and continuing health of a structure.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers, or CFRP, are exactly what the name implies - carbon fibers that are reinforced and held together with a polymer matrix.

It is inevitable that all concrete will eventually crack and degrade to a certain degree. Cracks are not only unsightly, but may hinder performance or integrity of the structure.

Reinforced concrete cooling towers exposed to harsh operating environments can develop severe corrosion of embedded steel reinforcing, concrete delamination and spalling.

Galvanic encasements provide a one-step repair and protection solution to preserve and extend the service life of corroded concrete structures.

Working closely with Vector Construction Manitoba Division and the rest of the rehabilitation team, a comprehensive repair plan was developed to rehabilitate the spillway and extend its service life by 20 years.

If you leave metal or even concrete outside, exposed to water and other environmental hazards, it eventually will naturally corrode. Thankfully, to help prevent this, there is a concrete protection system called a “Impressed Current Catholic Protect

As concrete ages, it can begin to look worn-out, tired, and aged. Concrete structures that once looked appealing begin to look like a relic from the past.

Construction doesn’t stop when winter weather strikes, so it’s important to know what steps to take to keep your workers warm and safe.

When working in food processing facilities, concrete repair and protection is a strictly controlled health issue.

Concrete is long lasting and durable – standing up to the stress of our harsh weather conditions.

Q: What is GeoSpray geopolymer ? A: GeoSpray geopolymer is a high performance, fiber-reinforced mortar designed for structural rehabilitation.

In order to reinforce concrete, construction companies have long been using metal rebars placed within the structure in order to ensure the strength and ability to handle tensile stress.

One very common way of reinforcing concrete is by pouring concrete over steel rebars.

Although many people perceive concrete to be solid and stone-like, the reality is that many things present in industrial applications can cause the concrete to break down, erode, and collapse over a period of time.

Q: Can Epoxy crack injections be applied underwater? A: Yes! Epoxy crack injections can repair damage underwater in both salt and fresh water.

Anyone who has ever tiled a bathroom or kitchen knows what grout is. It’s the mixture of liquid and solid to make a paste that fills the cracks in between the tiles and bonds them together, forming a watertight seal.

Fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) are composite materials made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The polymer is usually an epoxy, vinylester or polyester thermosetting plastic that is combined with a fiber, such as glass or carbon.
