Works: repair AB walls and floors in reservoirs facility

State of the structure: reinforced concrete structure d= 45.0 to 70.0 cm, visible penetration of water (salt, aggressive with a lot of chloride) in the areas of concreting bits (joint floor plate and the wall and on the half of the height of the wall). In the construction phase swollen strips are placed at critical joints. Multitude cracks on the surface as well as water permeable gasket spacers for formwork.

The process of restoration: conventional injection sticking of water permeable cracks and joints using PU resin in which case interruption , but such a water remains mainly in construction besides armature and is intensively destructive.

Implementation of the Euras Gel Type B enabled us to, on the principle of hydraulics, inject the material in the regime of high pressure (up to 200 bar), using them as vectors of movement of gel and to suppress the existing water and prevents it’s return. The gel pH>8.8 additionally and permanently passivated reinforcing steel. In the three reservoirs (in concrete) over 2,200 kg Euras gel It also shows a fact that in a seemingly quality concrete there are cavities filled with aggressive water in structure that were exposed to extreme impacts during construction can be seen procedure would be of aggressive penetration of salt water into the interior of the tank occurs was incorporated.
