Read MoreAt Concrete Only Restoration Services we specialise in concrete crack repairs and employ a number of different repair techniques depending on the type of surface and the application. Common areas of repair are driveways, patios, sidewalks and pool decks. If you are concerned about your control joints opening up and allowing excessive water to flow through we can seal them up using similar methods.
Read MoreTypical Remedy techniques. Cracked, spalled, or broken concrete: This concrete crack repair starts by cutting the spalled area or just cleaning joints and honeycombed areas from debris. Inject epoxy to fill and bond the joints. Rebar repair or replacement: Clean and prime existing rebar or replace if significant section loss has occurred and ...
Read MoreSeveral concrete crack repair techniques are to be discussed such as epoxy injection, routing and sealing, near surface reinforcement, additional reinforcement, gravity filling, grouting, dry packing, crack arrest, polymer impregnation, overlay and surface treatments, crack filling, crack sealing, blanketing, stitching and external stressing.

Read MoreSafety is the ultimate goal of any structural repair. Since its founding in 1975, Restruction Corporation endeavours to be an industry leader in technically advanced structural concrete repair methods. Our commercial and industrial structural strengthening techniques include a thorough knowledge of industry standardized repair material.
Read MoreThe crack repair procedure consists of: Drilling holes along the foundation crack, at 4 to 12 inches (10 to 30 cm), at a 45-degree angle, to connect the crack in the middle of the concrete foundation wall. Cleaning the holes and crack on the concrete surface. Sealing the surface crack with an epoxy plaster to contain the injection liquid.
Read More2020-6-19 For crack repair, a variety of techniques are available and the repair is mostly conducted manually. The typical repair involves chemical materials (e.g., epoxy systems, polymers, Na2CO3, Ca(NO3)2, Ca(HCOO)2 et al. [1–6]), which is normally expensive, time-consuming, non-compatible with concrete,

Concrete crack healing induced by microorganisms is often based two mechanisms. One results from the spore-forming alkali-resistant bacteria.
Read MoreThe second practice that can be utilized to repair crack is stitching. In this technique, holes are drilled across the crack and then metallic wires are passed through the holes' ends which are anchored with grout. In this way, stress is distributed within concrete rather than concentrating in the crack plane. 3. External Pre-stressing
