Repairs & Rehabilitation
The method used to repair or restore the structure is determined by the source, degree, and nature of the damage, the structure's purpose and value, the availability of appropriate materials and facilities for repair, and a complete understanding of the material's long-term behavior.
The repairing procedure may be superficial (cosmetic) or involve Injection into cracks and voids, Surface treatment, or removal and replacement of defective or damaged material / region, depending on the demand. When it comes to repairing and restoring your construction, we use a selection of modern materials that meet international requirements.
The process of rehabilitation and repair of structures begins when any component that holds the structure's stability, whether internal or external, is damaged or weak. A damaged or deteriorated structure necessitates immediate assistance. A structural repair extends the structure's life and keeps it from collapsing. When structural repairs are put off or ignored, the cost of maintenance rises.
EXPANSION JOINT TREATMENT
An expansion joint is a mid-structure separation in building construction that is meant to relieve stress on building materials induced by building movement. Thermal expansion and contraction induced by temperature variations, sway caused by wind, seismic events, static and live load deflection all contribute to building movement at expansion joints. Expansion joint transitions are critical for a sealed, safe, and energy-efficient building envelope.
By specifying and installing expansion joint systems that transition into one another and are warranted for continuity of seal between like or dissimilar technologies, it is now possible to seal expansion joints using sophisticated materials and design methodology.
EPOXY & POLYURETHANE INJECTION
When mending fracture in a concrete structure such as a foundation or wall from the inside, we commonly employ two injection techniques: epoxy resin injection and polyurethane chemical grout injection.
In contrast to polyurethane injection, which works effectively on wet and actively leaking substrates, epoxy injection is conducted on dry substrates. When it comes to structural fracture repair, epoxy injection is the way to go.
Polyurethane injection is used to seal current leaks, control moisture migration, and protect buildings from corrosion and deterioration caused by water. While there is no one-size-fits-all answer, our Civichem professionals will be able to assist you with a solution tailored to your specific needs.
CARBON FIBER CONCRETE STRENGHENING
Carbon fiber reinforcement Systems made out of fiber-reinforced textiles wrapped around a frame and coated with epoxy resin. These systems, once dry, reinforce concrete, masonry, steel, and wood buildings and can be up to 10X stronger than steel while retaining thinner and more flexible structure. They save labor expenses and downtime since they are simple to install. Typical applications include increasing the load bearing capacity of concrete beams, slabs, and walls, repairing or preventing seismic damage, and replacing damaged or missing reinforcing steel. Civichem specialists will assess your requirements and recommend the best option for your project.
