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.
- Surface preparation.
- Repair of concrete surface.
- Application of first coat of protection.
- Application of construction mesh.
- 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.
