Need the infrastructure to be stronger and last longer?
Bridges, highways, culverts and other concrete infrastructure all face particular challenges
Firstly, there is contamination from the environment they are situated in. This includes water-borne reactants, in the case of waterways; or carbonation from exhaust fumes. You may also be faced with low cover issues on new precast elements.
Then there’s the matter of cost and budget. How can you proactively protect the concrete, to reduce maintenance costs or the risk of needing replacement?
Enhancing concrete durability.
Reduce risk and extend the service life of your concrete structures. Protect against corrosion, water migration, carbonation, and the resulting repair expense. MARKHAM provide the sustainable protection needed for protecting your civil infrastructure from day one, or can help you rescue the service life of an ageing structure.
Repair and Remediate Ageing Concrete Structures
If your concrete infrastructure is already showing signs of age, corrosion or breakout damage, act early!
In many cases, deterioration can be arrested or slowed, restoring service life expectations.
Alternatively, if spalling requires steel or cementitious content, include MARKHAM treatments as part of your solution to avoid ongoing issues such as IAS (Incipient Anode Syndrome).

FAQs.
Hydrogel treatments are permanent, as they react within the concrete to produce new C-S-H. Therefore they do not need to be re-applied.
For the full TECT system MARKHAM experience, a project-specific warranty will be offered based on asset condition and extent of works. These performance warranties are typically a minimum of 15 years. For product supply only, where application is outside MARKHAM control, warranty is limited to replacement of product.
Firstly, the TECT systems involve a project-specific approach and typically involve several products working together. Secondly, the TECT systems carry a performance-based project-specific warranty, due to MARKHAM being able to provide installation and quality control on site. Single products are still of the highest quality, and can provide effective protection when the customer follows the application procedure correctly. Single products carry a standard product replacement warranty.
Yes. The hydrogel treatment creates fresh C-S-H inside the concrete – concreteʼs own building molecule. There is nothing foreign introduced. There is no residual coating. Therefore any coating or paint designed to be applied to bare concrete can safely be applied to hydrogel-treated concrete.
