Building & Civil Engineering Structures - Heritage Problems & Solutions

Problem Solution


(1) Deterioration of natural or cast stone through freeze - thaw - freeze exposure.

Salford Cathedral


All failed areas are reinstated with Monolite. This low density, high-build mortar is specially designed to minimise stress in the substrate as a result of its low shrinkage and low modulus of elasticity.

The product can be applied in thicknesses up to 100mm and can be easily shaped to match the form of the original stone. Monolite has been successfully used to repair external decorative cornices.


(2) Carbonation causing localised corrosion of the reinforcement and spalling on a listed reinforced concrete structure. Repairs to match colour and form of existing structure.


St Crispins Toilet


Following removal of unsound concrete and preparation of the steel, 2 coats of Steel Reinforcement Protector 841 are applied by brush. Missing or removed concrete is then reinstated. Where a high build structural repair mortar is required, Monomix is the best choice. For general purpose repairs, Monolite, a low density mortsar can be used. Both products have high build capabilities and can be formed to match surrounding concrete. Afterwards, Monorub may be applied to all surfaces using a bag rubbing technique to achieve a fair faced, colour matched finish.
