Structural Leak Sealing with LR Industrial Coatings

In remedial situations, structural leak sealing can be achieved by means of injected hydroactive resin based grout materials. Using specially developed equipment, appropriate materials are injected in cracks, joints or other defects in structures such as water containment and treatment structures, tank storage bunds, tunnels, pump wells, lift pits, basements, manholes and culverts etc where water ingress or egress is evident.

Hydroactive resins react expansively when in contact with water in a crack or joint to form a foam or gel seal rapidly reducing and stopping water penetration. Variations in resin formulation allow injected resin to react rapidly to deal with situations where water flow is high, or remain flexible where ongoing movement is anticipated. Resins have also been formulated to enable water penetration through the finest cracks in concrete structures to be effectively sealed.

Other areas of expertise are available to deal with other forms of leakage, such as through joints in large diameter pipes and precast tunnel structures.

We are able to rectify leaks in concrete structures with very little disruption to the facility or site without costly downtime being experienced and the requirement for expensive excavations.
