Project Description
Crack Repair
Removal of all debris in the crack. Cracks were filled with a clear mixture of Polyforce Plus. The material is liquid and can simply be poured into the crack.
Ceiling concrete repairs
The paint and delaminated concrete was removed from the ceiling and the concrete surface was cleaned. Polyforce Plus was applied as a patch material in all the areas in need of repair.
Waterproofing
The area around the pipes in the ceiling were leaking and the concrete was corroding.
The area was cleaned, grinded and damaged concrete removed.
Repairs were done on the ceiling with use of Polyforce Plus and Basalt mix.
This mix is made to be a paste like consistency, which allows the patching work to be done without forming around the pipes.
Technical Details
Facts:
According to third party testing, the repaired surfaces are rated to:
Polyforce Plus
- 25 years of useful life
- 0% water permeation
- Polyforce Plus is rated to expand and contract with concrete
- The entire surface and volume of the slab is "monolithic"
- Compressive strength of 85 MPa
- Polyforce Plus mixed with Basalt reaches a compressive strength of 150 MPa
- Adhesive strength of 1.85 MPa (original concrete has only 1.2 MPa of a tensile strength, so the bond is stronger than the concrete itself)
- Repair is 60% cost of a traditional repair
PolyFlex
- Application of PolyFlex from the negative side reduces cost by 90% when compared to the traditional method of repair
- 10 years of useful life
- 0% water permeation
- PolyFlex is able to expand and compress 200%
- 200% expansion and compression does not affect adhesion or tensile strength of PolyFlex
