Concrete Injection Made Easy

#005 Marten and I dive into the use of concrete barriers on motorways, as well as the dynamics of damage to concrete barriers due to corrosion of internal reinforcement and concrete degradation due to carbonation. 

We also get into what the future holds for roadside concrete barrier repair. 

 I hope this episode is food for thought about whether there’s a better way to repair damaged concrete barriers than replacing huge chunks.

In today’s episode of Concrete Injection Made Easy, I discuss sealing expansion joints with my guest Dennis Wagner, Product Manager of Injection Products at Normet. 

We explore a common problem on the job site, which is typically caused by mistakes with installing water stops, namely leaking expansion joints.

When it comes to injecting resin to fix leaking expansion joints, there are three options: one, injecting into the structure. Two, injecting between the structures, meaning into the expansion joint itself. And three—injecting outside the structure. When to use which is of key consideration whenever setting out to repair a leak.

Why the PU foaming resins are not the only choice you have?

What are the differences between the polyurethane resins?

When to apply a foaming resin?

How to avoid washing out of resin?

How to use fast-reacting PU based resins?

What is the difference in applying resin using 1 and 2 component piston pumps?

What pump to choose (and what resin) to stop huge water leakage?

Why do you need a big amount of resin to stop flowing water?

There are different application goals, different resin characteristics, amounts of products needed, and equipment...

When it's a good idea to use a bigger diameter of injection packers and why?

What is the difference in injection in the structure and out of it?

No matter what kind of repair we discuss, analysis always comes up as a necessary first step.

The whole conversation is a comparison of 2 injection types: crack injection with the stopping of flowing water.

#002 You don't want to miss the episode with Nick Chittenden from Master Builders Solutions explaining how the injection technology may be an insurance policy.
From this episode you will find out:

What is risk management when comes to waterproofing?

When you have a high water table you can reasonably expect that you may have a problem later on. How to use this knowledge in advance?

How can you tell if there is a potential for leakage? How can we take advantage of the crossover and overlap between two industries: tunneling and deep basement?

Nick says that injection may not be rocket science, however, imagination is needed!
We talk about the knowns and unknowns not knowing why we seem to choose the latter so often.
Eventually, we talk about the offering prices.
