Building
& Civil Engineering Structures - Concrete Protection
CONCRETE PROTECTION
Today concrete is exposed to
weather influences, aggressive pollutants and changes in
it's mode of use. The growing incidence of damage highlights
the importance of concrete protection.
WEATHERPROOFING
 It
is just as protection of concrete important for new structures to be protected
against the damaging effects of weather as it is for older
buildings that are already showing signs of distress.
Weather-associated
concrete
protection
problems range from carbonation to water
penetration and freeze thaw cycles that can crack and damage
concrete.
Flexcrete’s range of high performance, elastomeric coatings
and sealants combines seamless weatherproofing and outstanding
anti-carbonation concrete protection with an aesthetically pleasing
finish.
Used in conjunction with
concrete
protection
Flexcrete’s Concrete Repair Systems,
the coatings are a highly effective way to maintain the
durability of the concrete and ensure that the design life
is met protection of concrete.
ASBESTOS ENCAPSULATION
To eliminate asbestos-related
diseases, the new Control of Asbestos at Work Act now makes
it a legal requirement for any asbestos within structures
to be identified and controlled.
 Concrete
structures are no exception and many, particularly older
concrete tunnels for example, may contain asbestos that
needs priority treatment.
Flexcrete’s range of asbestos encapsulation systems will
secure any harmful fibres and provide a weatherproof coating,
upgrading the surface while creating a safe environment
for the future and ensuring full compliance with the Act. |
