The Pilbara Port Authority UTAH Wharf Deck is a crucial part of the port’s infrastructure. The deck is subjected to tremendous pressure from the heavy loads it supports, as well as exposure to harsh conditions such as saltwater, wind, and extreme temperatures. To ensure the longevity and durability of the deck, it is essential to take appropriate measures to protect it from damage caused by these factors.
Part of our comprehensive process involved employing high-pressure blasting as a method to safeguard the deck. This technique effectively establishes a clean, smooth canvas that enhances the deck’s readiness for subsequent treatments.
Another crucial step within our approach was the strategic application of AQURON 7000, an advanced concrete hydrogel treatment. AQURON 7000 is designed to penetrate deeply into the surface, providing a reliable barrier against moisture, chloride attack, and other harmful substances. This proactive measure played a significant role in bolstering the deck’s protection and durability, ensuring it remains resilient in the face of harsh conditions.
AQURON 7000 is a highly effective sealer that provides an impermeable barrier to protect the deck against further damage. It seals cracks as small as 0.5mm, preventing the ingress of water and other corrosive substances. This is essential for the long-term durability of the deck, as exposure to these substances can cause cracking, spalling, and other forms of damage that can compromise the integrity of the structure.
This product is part of the CIVIL-TECT® system for concrete protection and remediation
In addition to its protective properties, CIVIL-TECT offers many other benefits. It is easy to apply, and its single application means that the deck can be back in use as quickly as possible. It is also environmentally friendly, containing no VOCs or other harmful substances that can be released into the environment during application.
Overall, the combination of high-pressure blasting and the use of the CIVIL-TECT system provided a reliable and effective way to protect the Pilbara Port Authority UTAH Wharf Deck from damage caused by exposure to harsh conditions.
