 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.
