Quality Concrete Curing for Long-term Durability
Good concrete curing practices are not just for today – not merely for the construction phase – but have a permanent impact on the concrete service life. Improved curing quality will drive improved strength, impermeability and long-term durability.
- Improve hydration
- Reduce shrinkage cracking
- Reduce concrete dusting
Extra Challenge for Multi-Storey
When we come to multi-storey structures, such as the Gosford Hospital car park, we add an extra challenge. Traditional water curing is often not feasible as the necessary supply is not in place, and water cannot be conveniently brought from the ground. Curing membranes, which have to be removed later, become a liability due to the added challenge of moving the equipment about for such a basic task.
Curing without water on multilevel car parks is possible with MARKHAM colloidal silica hydrogel curing treatments.
In this case, Richard Crookes Construction utilised our team, treating 29,000m2 of fresh concrete at Gosford Hospital car park.
The surface not only cured faster, but also harder, and better. No residue remains, giving you a significant labour and scheduling saving.
