| Delaminating
of concrete structures is an area where epoxy
injection can also offer selective repair.
Prime examples
are bridge decks or other self supporting
structures, where the most common delamination
is shearing of the concrete. This is commonly
at the upper rebar mat.
Another common situation
is the hollow plane that develops when concrete
bridge piers are resurfaced or the old piers
are encased in new concrete. Hollow planes
develop, especially against the smooth sections
of the old pier. Cracking then occurs on
the surface perpendicular to the hollow
plane. Delamination then occurs along the
hollow planes that run along the reinforcing
bar.
The epoxy resin, when
injected, will travel or flow through these
hollow plane areas for several feet filling
in the voids and preventing further delamination.
Grout-Tech uses epoxy
injection to repair and restore damaged
concrete structures and members. We repair
bridges, overpasses, and reinforced concrete
decks, pillars, posts, and columns.
We use a SIKADUR product
that we feel is the one of the worlds finest
polyurethane resins system to in our repairs.
This multi-purpose injection resin is designed
to seal leaking cracks, voids or fractures
in concrete structures.
Many specialty
grouts can be used with an accelerator to
adjust the reaction profile as needed for
job site conditions. The system can be accelerated
to achieve specific reaction times by mixing
in specific amounts of accelerator.
