Cracks Injection
Whether it is structural cracks, non-structural or leaking cracks, POWER PROOF has the solution for all. Using the best methodology and injection techniques available and with the minimum disruption to the work site.
Epoxies for crack injection are available in a range of viscosities, from ultra-thin to paste-like, to accommodate cracks of different widths. Coles advice is to use whatever viscosity is needed to inject a given crack at pressures less than 40 psi. The wider the crack, the thicker the material required.
The main advantage of epoxies is their amazing compressive strength, which at 12,000 psi or greater exceeds that of most concrete. That's why epoxies are the only choice for cracks requiring structural repair. However, epoxies cure very slowly, generally taking hours to harden. This can be an advantage because it allows time for the epoxy to flow into even the smallest crevices. On the other hand, it’s also possible for the epoxy to flow out of the backside of the crack before it has hardened if the back-fill outside the wall has separated from the foundation.
"Often there are voids behind cracks due to soil erosion or poor compaction," explains Cole. That's why the crack is leaking in the first place; it’s easy for water to enter.
We are specialized in the concrete repair of bridges, concrete frame buildings, reservoirs, water towers, and have a wealth of highly experienced personnel capable of injection treatments using either epoxy or polyurethane resins for a wide range of applications including crack injection treatments with mechanical packers, crack injection treatments with surface packers and curtain injection treatments.
Our highly trained teams are competent in identifying the core issues at hand, saving our clients valuable time and money while ensuring that the appropriate treatments are selected.
