CoNCRETE REmediation
Providing Everything You Need
General Concrete remediation
When concrete surfaces experience damage or deterioration over time, there are many ways to renew or enhance the condition but are generally categorized into 2 categories: structural or non-structural repairs.
Structural concrete repairs aim to restore the load-carrying capacity of the concrete element.
Non-structural repairs aim to enhance or restore the appearance, durability, or functionality of the concrete without compromising its structural integrity.
When left exposed, damage to concrete surfaces can greatly reduce the lifespan, opening pathways to water and potentially other serious environmental damage in the future.
Industrial Floor Refurbishment
With over 84,000 sqm of industrial floor refurbishment completed, our experienced team stands out by delivering meticulous attention to detail alongside a rapid turnaround time.
We've achieved a 100% satisfaction rate in high-quality refurbishments with minimal factory downtime for businesses such as PGG Wrightson, Linfox, and Kiwirail.
The key to achieving a successful industrial floor refurbishment that is resilient, safe, and high-performing lies in the methodical prep work and comprehensive assessment of substrate factors.
Factors include but are not limited to:
-
Moisture Levels
-
Tensile Strength ...
Texture & Cosmetic Finishes
Non-structural repairs open a world of imagination and creative possibilities, concrete is a versatile material that can be shaped and moulded to create whatever aesthetic is desired.
From intricate patterns and textures to custom colours and finishes (see gallery for more), non-structural concrete repairs become a tool for crafting unique and personalized environments.
Beyond aesthetics, non-structural repairs also serve functional purposes. Concrete surfaces can be tailored to be more resistant to stains, easier to clean, and better suited to withstand environmental factors.
This combination of functionality and creativity allows for the development of surfaces that not only look good but also serve the practical needs of the space they inhabit.
Crack Injection
When cracks in concrete are left untreated and exposed to the environment the opening creates pathways for water to penetrate, which can lead to various issues, including mold growth, degradation of concrete, and damage to the building's foundation.
To remedy this, the crack needs to be filled which is usually done in 2 main ways, high-pressure injection and low-pressure injection.
High-Pressure Injections
Using a specialized pump, injection material is forced into the void of the concrete
Pros
This method is effective for deep and wide cracks, it is quick & and efficient and suited for structural repairs where maximum penetration is crucial.
Cons
If not controlled properly, there is a risk of excessive pressure being applied and causing additional damage. Operation by a skilled technician is crucial...
Grinding, Cutting & Polishing
Grinding and cutting concrete play a foundational role in the processes of concrete remediation, refurbishment, and coating solutions. Therefore, we emphasize the importance of employing the best tools and equipment.
In our commitment to delivering top-notch services in concrete grinding and cutting, we proudly collaborate with industry experts who specialize in designing and producing high-quality blades, precision tools, and cutting-edge dust-extracting equipment.
Grouting
Grouting solutions, although often concealed in a finished project, play an essential role in ensuring the integrity, stability, and durability of concrete structures.
Whether it's securing heavy machinery, preventing water leaks, or reinforcing the base of a building, every detail matters. Our meticulous foundation-first approach to construction solutions ensures peace of mind, regardless of whether it's visible or not.
Concrete Floor Curing
Concrete curing is a vital process that ensures the concrete becomes strong and durable once it has been poured.
It involves keeping the concrete at the right moisture level, controlling the temperature from the environment, and allowing enough time for the chemical reactions to take place.
Concrete curing progresses through five stages: mixing, dormancy, hardening, cooling, and densification.
After the curing stage, approximately 20-25% of the concrete consists of calcium hydroxide, which is soft and dusty.
Since this does not contribute to the concrete's strength, chemical hardeners and densifiers are usually added as close to the end of stage...
Floor levelling
Prior to installation of floor coverings (e.g tiles, hardwood, carpet), an even and level foundation is important to ensure adhesion, longevity, and performance of the installation.
As specialists in industrial floor refurbishment, we take a comprehensive approach in assessing the unique conditions of each project, factors such as moisture levels, tensile strength, substrate roughness, etc are taken into account before the application of any cementitious or epoxy levelling compounds.
This attention to detail sets the foundation for successful floor installation projects, providing our clients with long-lasting and high-performance flooring solutions.
