There are numerous factors, both internal and external, that can have a negative effect on the resistance and performance of reinforced concrete, even if the concrete is designed and installed to a high standard. When this does happen, it's therefore important to have access to the required ranges of concrete repair products to return the concrete to it's intended performance level, as well as coatings to protect it in the long-term.
Concrete Repair Mortars
Concrete repair products can be required either due to natural structural defects caused by concrete shrinkage or building settlement, due to poor installation of the concrete elements, or due to damage caused by water ingress or corrosion of the internal steel reinforcement. If this happens, your structure is at greater risk of further damage from water or moisture now being able to enter through these structural defects. It is therefore important to carry out effective concrete repairs using an appropriate concrete repair mortar.
Epoxy Coatings for Concrete
Epoxy floor coatings provide a durable protective surface that also acts as a low-maintenance and visually attractive finish to the surface of the concrete. Alternatively, Epoxy DPM coating products are used to suppress residual moisture and rising damp within concrete slabs and rafts, allowing for the speedy application of further coatings, membranes, levelling compounds and screeds.
Concrete Injection Resins
Concrete injection resins are an effective method of repairing defects in reinforced concrete and sealing leaks in a wide range of scenarios. Used either in combination or in isolation, the three main types of can be used to repair and strengthen cracks, voids, and other gaps or damaged areas in concrete and masonry, and to stem or eliminate leaks through joints or structural defects of earth-retaining structures.
