What is an epoxy injection?

Epoxy injection is a seal based on resin, which is forced into cracks in concrete to protect reinforcement from damage and prevent water association into the base. Cracks and weak reinforcement will cause a weakening of the concrete base, causing the building to be influenced by a dangerous occupancy. The epoxy, which is injected into cracks, effectively seals them, and at the same time allows the concrete foundations to maintain their original strength and integrity. Epoxy injections are the only way to repair a cracked base without having to tear off the building and cover the concrete again.

The process connected to the epoxy resin process is accurate and must be performed with epoxy, which is evaluated at least type and type A for most applications A to effectively repair the crack and protect reinforcement from premature deterioration, only the best products are used. Most of the epoxy injections are carried out using injection machines or weapons that are at the air level suitable for the application. RecommendedThe maximum and minimal settings are, so all tools must be modified before each specific task.

The

drill ports are one of the most important first steps involved in the repair of an epoxy injection. The ports are drilled directly above the cracks with vacuum -supported drills installed with hollow concrete drills. The ports allow the epoxy resin to flow along the entire length of the crack and the vacuum support allows to remove all concrete dust from the drilled hole. The epoxy resin is formed into the paste unless the cement particles are removed, causing failure of epoxy injection injection, so vacuum support systems must be used.

The

ports are strategically placed every four to eight inches (10,16 - 20,32 cm) apart to allow complete filling of the cracks in the cement. EpoxyProcess injection begins in one port and as the other port begins to fill with resin, it will belimited by the original port. From there the process will start again from the second port. This process continues all the way across the cement base until the entire area is injected with an epoxy filler.

Epoxide injection process can be performed in any weather and environment if special measures are used to ensure that the temperature remains in the range for optimal application. Various chemicals can be added to the epoxy to allow extremes in the weather such as hot or cool. The ingredients may also allow epoxy to repair the crack foundations in dams and channels. In these specific cases, epoxy injection is the only type of feasible repair to prevent disastrous results if the foundation should fail.
