Water
Industry
For centuries,
concrete has proved to be an invaluable material for containing
water. However, the ever-growing demands of modern industry
and a rising population have created many problems for today’s
water engineers. Reinforced concrete structures, now routinely
steel reinforced, are increasingly susceptible to cracking
and spalling as a result of corrosion of reinforcement and
attack from effluent, soft water and freeze-thaw cycles.
Unprotected steelwork is also similarly prone to corrosion
in such aggressive environments.
Repairs
to water installations are typically disruptive, so the
demand for highly engineered products that can be applied
rapidly and effectively in damp conditions has increased
dramatically. In order to meet this demand, Flexcrete has
developed an extensive range of product solutions for both
the clean and dirty water sections of the industry, utilising
the very latest innovations in styrene acrylic copolymer
technology, microsilica and cement chemistry. From reinforcement
protectors and repair mortars to cementitious coatings and
membranes, the Company offers the most effective repair
and protection systems available for repair and protection
of concrete and steel.
