Containment
Your ability to properly contain leaks and spills of process chemicals and even possibly contaminated stormwater is critical to the continued operation of your plant. Your efforts will be focused on complete containment to protect waterways, groundwater and all other aspects of your local communities and environment.
Sump Repairs
Sumps in containment areas are critical for collecting spills and preventing hazardous chemicals from escaping into the environment. However, these sumps often remain perpetually wet, making it challenging to apply and maintain protective coatings. Traditional coatings may become saturated and degrade over time, failing to protect the underlying concrete effectively. This constant exposure to harsh chemicals can lead to significant deterioration of the concrete structure.
A viable solution is the use of polymer concrete for sump repairs. Unlike conventional coatings, polymer concrete is highly resistant to chemical saturation and provides a durable, long-lasting barrier. Its application can restore the structural integrity of the sump, ensuring it functions effectively in containing spills. By opting for polymer concrete, facilities can achieve permanent repairs, reducing the frequency of maintenance and enhancing overall safety.

Maintenance Free Joints
When constructing new containment areas, it’s crucial to design joints that minimize maintenance requirements. Traditional joint sealants may degrade over time, necessitating regular resealing to maintain their effectiveness. This ongoing maintenance can be both time-consuming and costly.
Incorporating poured-in-place chemical-resistant seals during the construction phase can eliminate the need for frequent maintenance. These seals are designed to accommodate structural movement while maintaining a robust barrier against chemical leaks. Additionally, they can withstand heavy traffic, making them suitable for areas subjected to mechanical loads. By implementing maintenance-free joints, facilities can enhance the longevity and reliability of their containment systems, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Protective Coatings and Toppings
Containment areas are subject to constant exposure to corrosive chemicals, making protective coatings and toppings essential for preserving structural integrity. Regular maintenance of these protective layers is necessary to address wear and tear, especially around high-risk areas like drains.
Utilizing a range of industrial-grade coatings, repair materials, and joint sealants can provide robust protection against chemical attacks. These products are designed to withstand the harsh conditions typical in chemical processing plants. Regular inspection and prompt repair of any damaged coatings can prevent further degradation of the underlying concrete, ensuring the containment area remains secure and compliant with environmental regulations.

Joint Sealing
Proper joint sealing is vital to prevent leaks in concrete containment structures. Unsealed or improperly sealed joints can allow process chemicals and contaminated stormwater to escape, posing environmental hazards and compromising structural integrity.
Selecting the appropriate joint sealer requires consideration of the specific chemicals involved, exposure to environmental conditions, and the expected movement of the joint. Ensuring proper installation is equally important to maintain the effectiveness of the seal over time. By addressing joint sealing with suitable materials and techniques, facilities can significantly reduce the risk of leaks, ensuring a safer and more compliant operation.
