The Stages of Applying Concrete Protection of Effluent Treatment Plant

We were contracted in December 2020 to provide a solution for the effluent treatment plant at the new Harris bottling plant. The system we recommended involved the following steps.

  1. Surface preparation.
  2. Repair of concrete surface.
  3. Application of first coat of protection.
  4. Application of construction mesh.
  5. Application of last coat of protection.

Stage 1: Surface preparation: This involved grinding to remove surface laitance to expose the good concrete below. This will aid in increasing bonding and exposing unsound concrete.

Stage 2: Surface Filling:

 We used of MasterBrace ADH 2200 to fill all depressions and damages on the surface. Some of the advantages of MasterBrace ADH 2200 are its high strength, non-slump, impact-resistant, and good chemical resistance.

Stage 3: Application of first coat:

We applied the first coat of Masterprotect 180 which is a protective high build epoxy resin coating specifically developed to protect concrete. Masterprotect 180 is durable, non-toxic, has high chemical resistance, high-temperature water resistance, and is a waterproofing agent.

Stage 4: Added a construction mesh / Fiber mesh.

The purpose of this was to reduce water loss from the concrete as well as enhance the structural integrity.

Stage 5: Application of second coat:

For the final stage, we once again applied Master protect 180 for a final coat.

Finished Effluent treatment plant with MasterProtect 180 coating.
