Question: Is Penetron slurry applied on the negative side or the positive side of a concrete structure? Answer: PENETRON SLURRY can be applied on either side of the concrete structure. It will depend on the practicality and the most cost effective method of applying the slurry. Question: How far can Penetron...
enerally, the prime concern for concrete for structural engineers has been its resistance to mechanical stress, i.e. strength. In recent years, durability has emerged as equally important. However, durability cannot be achieved with reducing the W/C ratio, high compressive strength, more cement, air-entraining admixtures or corrosion inhibitors alone. To...
Due to the increased importance of quality waterproofing in construction, especially in waterproofing water retaining structures and water excluding structures, there is a lot of misunderstanding and misjudgment about what crystalline waterproofing is (and the various other types of waterproofing that should be applied, depending on the surface) A good...
Concrete corrosion is costing the construction industry and its players millions of Shillings annually in premature repair or replacement of damaged infrastructure.
