Emergency Concrete Repair at Wal-Mart Garden Center
Recently Dave Wilson, of Roadware Distributor Fowler Supply received this email on behalf of a East Tennessee Construction Services.
Emergency repairs are common for Roadware contractors. When safety is on the line and a store needs something repaired quickly and permanently, Roadware Concrete Repair Products are the clear choice due to minimal down time and minimal intrusion to facility operations.
When Dave Wilson arrived on site, this is the trip hazard condition he found.
Plan of Action:
- Repair bottom portion of spalled joint with Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender™.
- Repair top portion of spalled joint using new Roadware MatchCrete™ Clear (MCC) colored with Davis Colors pigment to match the surrounding concrete. MCC is used because it will not change color when exposed to UV sunlight as is the case in a garden center.
- Finish to grade.
Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender™ and silica sand is added to the bottom of the repair. This provides a tough Microdoweling™ repair and seals off and moisture in the substrate.
Roadware MatchCrete™ Clear and a mixture of silica sand blended with about one teaspoon of powdered Davis Color is added to the repair.
The Roadware MatchCrete™ Clear and sand mixture is troweled in place and allowed to cure for about 45 minutes.
After curing, the surface is ground smooth and the control joint is re-sawn with a diamond blade.
Traffic is restored immediately. Danny, the associate who requested the work order was, “Amazed.”
When the job has to be done quickly and correctly. Roadware Concrete Repair products are always at the ready.
