Expansion Joint Repair in Hospitals & Clinics Doing any repairs at hospitals or clinics requires close coordination with the client and working during off-peak hours to make sure operations are not disrupted. Our medical facilities portfolio includes expansion joint waterproofing. ... To repair an expansion joint, we drill injection ports and inject our specialized liquid material which turns into soft rubber. It has tremendous adhesion power capable of binding cracked concrete, and displacing any accumulated water, not allowing it to re-enter. The concrete slabs can still expand and contract due to the nature of the materials injected. At the same time, such injection seals any crack in the membrane, preventing any future leaks from recurring.

Early Detection - Key to Efficient Waterproofing You can see the early warning signs of potential elevator shaft leakage even without the help of a specialist! Rusted metal elevator equipment is a clear indicator of flood levels in the elevator pit. Besides the obvious problem weakened metal surfaces this damage could be pointing to a less apparent issue. All wall surfaces could be saturated with water, in danger of beginning to leak at any time and causing further elevat...or equipment damage. If nothing is done, the elevator will be shut down, in need of serious repairs. An infrared scan should be done to assess the situation fully, to determine the appropriate procedure. Proper waterproofing will prevent any further damage and possible shutdowns. See our portfolio for examples of elevator waterproofing: https://jointsealwaterproofing.com/p/elevator-waterproofing

Piston Housing Waterproofing Waterproofing an elevator pit can involve any of the following: floor/wall corners, block walls and piston housing, as well as repairing floor/wall cracks. For piston-operated elevators in particular, a specialized procedure is followed to ensure long-lasting elevator pit waterproofing. Any accumulated liquid is pumped out of the housing around the cylinder/piston assembly, the void is cleaned and injected with a soft rubber material....

Repairing Airport Apron Surfaces Having fully repaired apron surfaces is essential at any airport because lose bits of concrete can potentially damage airplane engines. Problems with Conventional Method:... The new and old concrete do not have a proper bond, which results in reduced useful life. The demolition and pouring of a new slab is very labor- and time-intensive. Since the concrete cannot be less than 2 inches thick, a large volume of the old surface must be demolished. Our Patching Method: The use of our industrial-strength Polyforce Plus Adhesive in combination with a specialized concrete mix creates a monolithic patch which is able to restore structural integrity of the repaired slab. Our patching process involves removing delaminated and unsound concrete, applying adhesive, followed by the actual patch. For more examples of our work, see our portfolio: https://jointsealwaterproofing.com/por/government-municipal

Retaining Wall Repairs A retaining wall with a vertical top-to-bottom through crack signifies severe movement between respective wall slabs. Doing traditional structural crack repair would not be feasible in this case, as it would increase strain on an already flexing structure. The most practical way of treating this waterproofing job is through expansion joint type of injection. Our specialized PolyFlex material is designed to work with moving slabs as they expand and contr...act. The material is rated to withstand 180% of expansion and contraction while retaining firm adhesion to both concrete slabs. It anchors itself to the surface, provides waterproofing, and an adhesive layer for the paint to be applied on top.
