Epoxy Injections and Concrete Crack Repair


Posted March 30, 2016 by structurda

By far the most frequent type of concrete crack repair by failure to provide sufficient working joints to accommodate drying shrinkage and thermal movement.

 
Having a strong, firm and reliable foundation is the key to nay building structure durability and long lasting. Whether it is a house, concrete structure or large building, foundation needs to be strong enough with structural base underground to bear the burden of entire building for a long time. This is why piling is one of the most important and vital step for any construction. If there is slightest of error left during foundation piling it could result in massive mishap taking precious lives and money. Pile repairs are meant to serve the pile foundation with loop holes.

A technique that is used to set a deep underground foundation for building structures is called piling. By embedding or driving piles of concrete, steel or wood deep down in earthy soil, the pile contractors are able to make sure the pile has the required toughness and firmness to bear the burden of over built structure- a pre requisite for every construction project.

Piling is done after taking in to consideration many factors of the ground including the condition and type of soil that lies underneath the construction area, space required for digging and rigging, soil properties, faults or fractures that might be present beneath the surface to go with several other factors. Building a deeper foundation require much more concentration and thoughtfulness as there are other many factors that needs to be considered in deeper formation contrary to shallow formation where the foundation could be laid with little consideration.

Often there are leakages or water intrusion into the soil due to the presence of unseen fault which may result in weakening of foundation piles. Here the importance of leak injection comes into play. If there is a water intrusion deep down in foundation, then it is impulsive to fill those leakages using leakage injection techniques. This technique involves filling of leakages with water resistant material that stops any further leakage of water into the foundation pile, saving the foundation structure from any further damage.

Leakage filling can save foundation from further damaging owing to leakage. However, the damage that foundation has already undergone due to leakage must be repaired in order to prevent any massive loss. One of the primary damage of water leakage is the crack that it causes in foundation. The material used in foundation tends to dissolute in water creating cracks in foundation producing possibility of further damage and foundation collapse. These cracks need to be treated with crack injection techniques. This involves filling of cracks by resilient material that not only fills the cracks, rather giving certain required strength to foundation piles and increasing life of foundation.
