Concrete Injection Made Easy

#015 How to seal the dilatation of the tank without entering it?

Where is a need, there is a solution.
And as we can see, the injection can be carried out even in the difficult conditions of the lack of regular supplies, and high temperature and humidity by a small group of trained people. 

This conversation proves once again, that persistence is one of the most important qualities needed in our industry.

#014 episode of Concrete Injection Made Easy podcast.

And since it’s a concrete injection podcast, I have a question: what do we use most often on our job sites to inject into the cracks?
Today's episode is my solo show explaining how to choose the right resin to inject the crack.
We’ll look at the main similarities and key differences and which are used when. I’ll give you an insider’s take on my experience using both.

Make sure you stay till the end (this episode is shorter than usual so it's easier :) ) so you get the details. 
I also mention the best injection pump nad packer type to use both solutions.

If you ever wanted to take full advantage of using epoxy resin, this episode is just for you. 

#013 The main message of the whole episode is the need to plan for the future in a positive way. There is and there will be different kinds of crises. So we need to be flexible and prepared for that. One thing we know for sure is that there will be future crises. All our guests say remedial services will be needed, some say the future is here. All of them also say their product will be improved, focus on constant improvement and enhancement. All highlight the need to stay close to clients, gain insight into client needs. Also to deliver more content, use tech and digitalization to be there for customers 24 hrs per day. Very optimistic about the future. So that’s a good note to end on. So now I feel even more committed to this podcast to provide industry insights and products and solutions. The more we know, the better we can take advantage of the trends that are unfolding in front of our eyes, and with the podcast, I’ll be bringing all this to your attention.

So thanks for tuning in and see you next time.

The 12th episode of Concrete Injection Made Easy is a transcript of yesterday's webinar, which was a session of answering your questions.
I replied about why I insist on drilling smaller holes and using smaller than 13mm packers.

Why drill such large holes? It's a waste of time, resin and concrete deterioration. Let's not do that anymore!

#011 episode of Concrete Injection Made Easy podcast.
 
A big problem on job sites is that some concrete repair contractors aren’t methodical enough in applying proven processes and technologies. This leads to sub-optimal execution and customer dissatisfaction. And this just makes bad name for the dedicated professionals among us.

The key to being the kind of contractor that gets repeat business because they use proven methods, technologies, and processes is to leverage the information that can be found in well-prepared datasheets.

#009 of Concrete Injection Made Easy Podcast. 

One complaint I often hear from clients who have ordered concrete leak sealing procedures in which an acrylic gel was used is that under some conditions, the expansion joint leaks again. This problem happens typically because of dry weather, which causes acrylic gels dry out and shrink. And when acrylic gels dry, they lose their elasticity, and ability to adhere to concrete walls. And that’s why water starts leaking. 

From the #009 episode of Concrete Injection Made Easy podcast you will find out:

• What are the best areas of application of injection rubber any why?
• What are the main properties of an injection rubber?
• When can acrylic gel be used, and when should it rather be used injection rubber?
• Injection rubber shrinks to its original volume, but not less. What's in it for me?
• How to apply an injection rubber?
• Expansion joint sealing relies on swelling rather than adhesion to concrete. Important especially after several swelling/deswelling cycles.
• How to use re-injected injection hoses and why we have discussed it?
• What made me choose an injection rubber in one of my latest projects in Wrocław?

#008 of Concrete Injection Made Easy podcast.
Maybe you’ve asked yourself the question, what does it take to get into a bigger part of the concrete injection game—namely lifting concrete slabs, polyurethane underpinning or other major geotech jobs.
Many of you may run businesses or have experience working with waterproofing, joint filling and membrane work. 
But bigger geotechnical projects are, as my guest Jim Spiegel of Alchemy Spetec says, “a completely different animal.”
