Concrete Repair

Concrete is strong in flatten but relatively weak in tension. The establishment of steel reinforcement enhances the tensile strength of the component and, consequently, its resistance to stress. Unluckily, in the presence of water and oxygen, steel rusts. Therefore, in almost all likely weathering conditions for reinforced concrete, corrosion of the steel is a potential risk.

            Tribeca Masonry offers a full range of high-performance replacement mortars and concrete for applications extending from cosmetic to structural renovations. Our repair mortars and concrete systems fit with a whole variety of Tribeca Masonry repair and security materials so that not only the visible signs of destruction are repaired, but the decline is addressed, increasing the service life and sustainability of the building.

            Declining concrete structures can cause environmental as well as waste and disposal problems, increase closing or replacement costs and generate a safety hazard for workers. Tribeca Masonry utilizes state of the art elements, repair methods, tools, and trained professionals to fix and restore concrete surfaces and constructions.

·         Structural Repairs:

            Cracks in your concrete petitions can result from thermal development, settling or shifting, design deficiencies, substandard concrete, and incorrect pouring or curing of the concrete during initial installation. Tribeca Masonry has several unique methods for making structural repairs and replacing integrity to load-bearing concrete constructions or steel reinforced concrete.

·         Injection Method:

            Two-component epoxies or particular urethane pitches are either injected or poured into cracks. Inside the break, chemical and manufacturing bonding occurs inside the concrete itself. This bonding has power similar to welding.

·         Spall Repair:

            Random spalling is the outcome of the freeze/thaw cycle, ground shifting, rebar corrosion, appearance to destructive components, or incorrect installation of concrete during original construction. Elements used for this type of concrete repair involve two-component, epoxy-based mortars that utilize silica or aggregate, polymer-modified cement or hydraulic cement, as well as additional materials specific to the client's repair needs.

·         Overlays and Toppings:

            Overlays and toppings are needed on surfaces where scaling has taken place due to poor concrete construction, chemical attack, impaction or traffic wear. Surface development for these types of repairs may involve water or sandblasting, acid engraving and the applicability of primers.

·         Expansion Joints:

            While being built, every formation should be able to provide extension and contraction. Seldom, however, what was ingeniously put in place to prevent cracking and spelling is not enough. Forces not planned for in the unedited design, such as extreme shear, subsidence, or excessive traffic, can and will cause integrity failure. Tribeca Masonry can install new joints quickly – in most cases before your plant’s fecundity is impacted. We can design a wide array of development joints using epoxies, cold tar epoxies, polyurethanes, polysulfides, silicone, ethylene vinyl acetate, and others.

·         Leak Stoppage:

            Whether by injecting a polyurethane grout or an epoxy, Tribeca Masonry will quickly seal your leak before notable damage can occur to either concrete or the reinforcing steel within it.

·         Soil Stabilization:

            Tribeca Masonry offers two powerful and unique solutions for maintaining your facility’s soil.

·         Chemical Grouting:

            This method requires the injection of chemical grouts into the ground or around the entire mass to realize full stabilization. When injected, the grouts “solidify” the surrounding soils through enhancing compressive strengths, filling the voids between the soil particles, and restricting the passage of liquids. This technique may also be used to increase load-bearing capacity, to create impenetrable barriers, to insulate shear walls or to isolate hazardous waste.
