Corrosion Protection

Cracks in concrete balconies can, more often, be concealed by paint and tiled finishes.

If the cracks remain unnoticed water containing contaminants such as salt and/or atmospheric pollution is able to enter the concrete.  Once the water comes in contact with the steel reinforcement a "time bomb" start ticking.

The severity of corrosion is dependant upon the amount of air that is required to provide the oxygen necessary for the chemical reaction resulting in rust to occur on the surface of the steel element.

By encapsulating the steel, oxygen is restricted and water is unable to make contact.  Encapsulation can be effected by Chemical Injection which involves the pressure injection of gels that cure to form a flexible barrier that effectively protects steel against corrosion.
