⚠ 3 limitations to check
  • Ensure formwork is secure and watertight to prevent movement and leaking during placing and curing.
  • Where maximum thickness exceeds 75 mm, consider the use of Sikacrete®-113PP SA.
  • At high temperatures, use chilled water for mixing to keep grout mix temperature below 30°C.

Section of an underground sewage manhole with pipes, step irons and a protective lining on the inside faces Sewage tanks, manholes & septic tanks Sewage and wastewater structures leak out, let groundwater in and are eaten away by aggressive effluent. Plug and rebuild the concrete, waterproof it, and add a chemical-resistant lining where the effluent is aggressive. 7 steps Two treatment plant tanks: a covered clean-water tank with a thin lining and an open settling tank with a thick lining Water & wastewater treatment plants Clarifiers, filter beds, clear-water reservoirs and process tanks need watertight concrete, sealed joints and the right lining for each water type. Drinking-water compartments take only products approved for potable contact. 6 steps Cross-section of a lined canal with water, a waterproof coating on the concrete lining and sealed panel joints Canals, channels & open drains Irrigation canals, water channels, nullahs and storm drains lose water through cracked lining, open joints and eroded concrete. Repair the lining, waterproof it, and seal joints with sealants made for submerged use. 5 steps Section of an upstairs toilet floor with restored waterproofing and a repaired, dry ceiling slab in the room below Toilet or bathroom leaking into the ceiling below Seelan, drips or falling plaster on the ceiling under an upstairs bathroom. Find the source, fix it from the bathroom side, then dry and repair the ceiling slab below. 6 steps Factory floor tiles on orange epoxy bed and grout, a drain in the floor, and liquid dripping from a tipped drum Chemical-resistant tile grout and bedding Tiled floors and walls in food plants, dairies, labs, industrial kitchens, plant rooms and thermal or salt-water pools need epoxy bedding and grout that resist acids, cleaning agents and wash-down. These are specialist systems. 6 steps Concrete beam with a square cut-out repair: cleaned steel bars coated, and repair mortar being trowelled in flush. Spalling concrete (chhajja, balcony, beam, column) Concrete that cracks, bulges and falls away, usually with rusty steel behind it, on chhajjas, balcony slabs, beams, columns and tank slabs. This guide follows the EN 1504 sequence: remove, protect the steel, rebuild, seal and protect. 7 steps Concrete section with steel bars: one zone rebuilt with repair mortar, the rest treated with inhibitor and a rolled-on coat. Rusting reinforcement (rebar corrosion) Steel bars inside concrete rust when carbonation or chlorides reach them; the rust swells and cracks the cover. This guide covers finding corrosion early, treating exposed steel, and slowing corrosion in concrete that has not spalled yet. 7 steps Concrete wall with small pores filled and smoothed, and a deep square pocket being filled with grout through formwork. Honeycombing, blowholes & voids Honeycombing is concrete where the cement paste did not fill the gaps between the stones, leaving pores, pockets or hidden voids, often after poor compaction or leaking shuttering. Small surface defects are filled with fine mortars; deep pockets in load-bearing members need assessment and a structural repair. 7 steps Old concrete slab with roughened top and dowels, a bonding coat brushed on, and new concrete placed over it. Bonding new concrete or mortar to old Joining fresh concrete, screeds, toppings, renders or repair mortar to existing hardened concrete, for slab thickening, extensions, toppings and repairs. The joint is only as good as the surface preparation and the bond coat. 7 steps Existing column in formwork with new bars and links, micro-concrete poured into the jacket; plan view beside it. Column jacketing with micro-concrete Enlarging and strengthening columns, piers or beams by adding steel and a flowable, non-shrink micro-concrete cast in formwork. Used for under-strength or badly damaged columns, extra floors and change of use, always to an engineer's design. 7 steps Concrete building facade half coated with a protective coating by a roller on a pole, with rain beading off. Protective coatings & water repellents for concrete Coatings and impregnations that keep water, chlorides and carbon dioxide out of concrete facades, bridges, car parks and repaired structures. Choose a clear impregnation, an anti-carbonation coating or a crack-bridging coating to suit the exposure. 8 steps Concrete sump in the ground with a continuous protective lining inside, holding liquid fed by a dripping pipe. Chemical-resistant protection (tanks, bunds, sewage) Linings and coatings that protect concrete and steel from acids, sewage gases, fuels and industrial chemicals in treatment plants, chemical tanks, bunds and manholes. The coating is chosen for the actual chemicals, concentrations and temperatures, on a strong, prepared substrate. 7 steps Low-pressure sprayer coating a fresh concrete slab with curing compound while water evaporates from the uncoated part Concrete curing Curing keeps water in young concrete so it gains strength and does not crack or dust. In Pakistan's heat and dry wind it must start within minutes of finishing, by wet curing or a sprayed curing compound. 7 steps Food plant floor section: thick seamless screed coved up the wall, anchored at a drain channel, with steam and water. Food, beverage & chemical floors Dairies, bakeries, beverage plants, pharma and chemical areas need floors that resist hot water, steam cleaning, thermal shock and chemicals without tainting food. Polyurethane-cement screeds (PurCem, Ucrete) with coved upstands are the usual answer. 7 steps
