Use Epoxy Injections To Weld Cracks Together

By Flora Vinson


Today, there are many great ways of welding cracks back together such as use of epoxy injections. Cracks are mainly caused by improper curing, inadequate design or stress. Cracks affect the reinforcing bar which is the main structural value of the concrete. If the cracks are are left unattended, they allow penetration of contaminants, road salts and moisture that attack the bar making it lose its structural value hence making it deteriorate.

Most people have the perception that ordinary welding is the most effective way of dealing with cracks. However, welding only holds the structure together for a short period before the problem recurs. Sealing has proven to be the most effective solution as it prevents premature deterioration of the reinforcing bar therefore making it strong and firm.

Welding the cracks by use of epoxy injection helps to restore the strength of the original design by loading it to the concrete. The concrete also becomes as good as new as the structural qualities are restored. This is possible because this product creates some impervious seal to chemicals, debris, air, water and other contaminants.

There are two main purposes of using this system. First of all, it welds the structure together and secondly seals the cracks preventing penetration of moisture. It is an effective method as it incorporates both welding and sealing.

It is important to ensure that there are no mistakes since the method is sensitive and does not give you a second chance. Ensure your workers are trained well and that you use the appropriate equipment. This product is great, effective and cost effective.

epoxy injections are very effective when it comes to repairing concrete cracks, hollow planes and delaminations. They are most effective when used according to the manufacturers recommendations. Proper preparation and job analysis are the key factors to ensure maximum performance from these products.
