Crack Injection

Concrete Injection Systems – Waterproofing, Strengthening, Sealing, Foundation Stabilisation

Braid Industries understands the success of any injection procedure depends on the combination of materials, equipment and the expertise of the technician.

  • The injection material must be capable of achieving the desired objective.
  • The equipment must be regularly maintained and be capable of efficiently delivering the materials to their destination in which they were designed for.
  • The technicians must have the correct training and experience to combine all these elements to achieve the correct result which will then in turn satisfy the client's needs.

Braid offers every aspect of the above through regular training and maintenance schedules that enables the desired result.

Our team can install and repair chemical bunds, remediate pipes, tunnels and drainage systems, and have specialist knowledge and experience in fitting hydraulic concrete structures with waterproofing and chemical resistant linings.

Our team repair concrete in wet and dry environments and can also recommend protective coatings tailored to your environment when necessary.

 

Protective Coatings

Epoxy Coatings and Linings – Water and Wastewater Specialist

Braid offers concrete remediation and protective coatings for wastewater manhole access chambers, pump station wet wells, WWTP inlet channels, grit chambers, launders, bio tanks and chemical secondary containment structures subject to biogenic or chemical induced concrete corrosion.

We provide a total solution for new and existing above and below ground concrete structures that may require total refurbishment or new protective coatings to ensure long term protection from H2S and sulphuric acid induced concrete corrosion. In sewer, sulfide rich effluent, humid conditions and retention times create an environment for microbiological induced corrosion (MIC) which is a major cause of concrete corrosion in sewer networks and structures.

We utilise 100% solid, high moisture tolerant, wet to dry epoxy bonding agents, epoxy and cement based structural renders and ultra high build epoxy coatings by manual and airless spray methods offering the ability to cure underwater for fast return to service, maximum concrete cover equivalence, holiday free and gloss finishes specifically for sewer structures.

Braid offers abrasive blasting, water blasting and corrosion protection for WWTP steel structures subject to permanent wastewater immersion. Braid offers a long term, proven and complete epoxy solution to biogenic and chemical induced corrosion for civil and drainage contractors, councils and water authorities nationally.
