Concrete is an exceptionally strong and durable material, used a lot globally in the construction industry due to its resilience and durability. Nevertheless, like any other material, concrete is vulnerable to the effects of time, and it may experience deterioration due to various factors such as weather damage, water damage, voids, chemicals and ground settlement. These can all lead to cracks and breakage in the concrete. This is where resin injection repair is introduced. Keep reading to discover and understand the advantages of resin injection.
Resin injection repair is a method for fixing concrete that involves injecting a specialised grout material into cracks or voids within the concrete structure. The grout is typically a resin-based material that is injected into the cracks and voids within the concrete. It is designed to not only fill and seal the damaged areas but also restores the structural integrity of the concrete, preventing further deterioration and prolonging its lifespan. The injection process is carefully managed to guarantee that the grout thoroughly infiltrates the damaged areas, offering a complete seal and strengthening the concrete against future stress and environmental factors. Resin injection pumps inject resin directly from a container into various applications, including construction, concrete repair, and waterproofing.
You can operate resin injection pumps by hand, electrically, or with air. Resin injection crack repair is a method employed to repair and strengthen concrete and masonry structures by injecting a liquid resin into cracks, voids, and other damaged areas. It serves multiple purposes, such as waterproofing and structural repair and is a clean, quick and efficient technique applicable to both new and existing structures. It is typically finished within a day or two, allowing you to remain in your home during the process. Resin injection repairs then last for years if done correctly, it is not something that has to be done often.
The advantages of resin injection are impressive and the results last for decades.
1. Durability : A key benefit of resin injection is its ability to offer a lasting repair for concrete structures. The robust properties of resins guarantee a durable solution, reducing the need for frequent repairs.
2. Versatility : Resin injection is a adaptable method used in various construction situations. From restoring existing infrastructure to building a new project and everything in between, the versatility of this approach makes it a preferred choice for the construction industry.
3. Precision and Efficiency : The resin injection process enables accurate targeting of specific areas requiring repair. This focused method improves efficiency, reduces material waste, and maximises the effectiveness of the repair process.
At CES Hire, we offer three varieties of resin injection pumps for purchase. The first is the Resin Injection Hand Pump by Refina. The Resin Injection Hand Pump is a lever-operated device designed to inject resin straight from a container. Made from brass to resist chemicals, this pump can inject pourable resins and chemical grouts at a pressure of up to25 bar, 350 psi. The recommended maximum grain size is 0.3mm and has an output of 0.5 litre per minute.
Following that is the A400 Eco Resin Injection Set 110v, a high-pressure resin injection device capable of operating at pressures up to 230 bar. It can be used on any construction site without
