Concrete Restoration

From the time a concrete floor or wall is poured, it faces a variety of challenges. As concrete cures, it shrinks slightly, which can cause cracking within hours or days of the pour. Concrete cracks can also occur over time from occurrences such as structural movement, settling of the base material under the slab, or rapid temperature changes. In industrial applications, concrete can experience corrosion from a number of sources, which may include:

·         Heavy impact, abrasion, or vibration

·         Aggressive chemical attack

·         Exposure to organic acids (food & beverage plants)

·         Extreme temperatures or rapid changes in temperature

Left unchecked, concrete cracks and corrosion can lead to a number of undesirable effects, including:

·         Breach of primary or secondary containment

·         Trip hazards

·         Injuries to tow motor drivers and damage to their equipment

·         Subsequent corrosion of reinforcing steel in slabs

·         Loss of sanitary conditions (food & beverage, pharmaceutical)

·         Unsightly appearance

Inscan employs some of the most experienced concrete restoration experts in the field. With today’s injection resins, polymer modified grouts and repair mortars, and floor resurfacers, restoration can typically be completed with minimal down-time. Products can be specified to improve strength, impact and abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance.
