Concrete floor reinforcement

Concrete floors are one of the most popular types of floor coverings with a wide range of applications. Among their advantages-strength, wear resistance, unpretentiousness and the ability to create different textures on the surface. However, they also have weaknesses. One of the most serious is the tendency to destroy the upper layer. Premium Technologies, which uses injection technologies to strengthen the concrete floor, will help eliminate this shortcoming.

When is it necessary to strengthen the concrete floor?

First of all, this procedure is used for surface damage that may occur due to:

  • improper design and construction (insufficient reinforcement, incorrect choice of concrete quality, incorrect ratio of concrete mix components, violation of pouring technology, etc.);
  • exposure to aggressive media (acid, alkali, salt, petroleum products, sea water and other aggressive mediamechanical
  • impacts (falling of heavy objects, impacts, friction, vibrations, overloading, traffic and people);
  • natural wear and tear;
  • water exposure (water entering the concrete pores and freezing water can lead to cracks and destruction of the concrete surface);
  • unfavorable environmental conditions (extreme temperature changes, strong winds, earthquakes, floods).

 

Also, strengthening the concrete floor is necessary in the following cases:

  1. when planning to increase the load and change the operating conditions — if you plan to place heavy equipment, machines, loads or other heavy objects in the room that are not provided for in the design.
  2. When designing and constructing a new building.
  3. If the concrete floor does not meet safety standards, for example, it is not strong enough or does not withstand the necessary loads, it is necessary to strengthen the concrete to ensure the safety of all users of the room.
Stages of concrete floor reinforcement work

The algorithm of actions and stages of work on strengthening the surface may vary depending on the chosen method and specific working conditions. However, they usually include the following actions:

  1. assessment of the condition of the concrete floor before starting work, determining the nature of damage and the causes of their occurrence.
  2. Choosing the optimal reinforcement method that is most appropriate for the specific case.
  3. Surface preparation, which consists of cleaning the surface of the concrete floor from dirt, dust, oils and other contaminants. Sanding may also be necessary to improve the adhesion of the new material to the floor surface.
  4. Using the selected reinforcement method.
  5. Completion of work. After applying the hardening method, it is necessary to allow time for the material to fully cure. After that, the final quality control of the work is carried out and the necessary corrections are made.

After completion of the work, the concrete floor is ready for use. If necessary, regular maintenance and maintenance of the floor is carried out to ensure its durability and keep it in good condition.

Basic ways to strengthen a concrete floor

There are many ways to strengthen a concrete floor. Consider some of them:

  1. cutting joints is one of the most common methods of strengthening a concrete floor, which allows you to prevent the formation of cracks and cracking of the floor surface. Cutting joints reduces stress in the concrete, which can occur as a result of temperature changes or mechanical stress.
  2. Concrete sanding is the process of removing the top layer of the surface with a special sander. This procedure allows you to improve the appearance of the floor, increase its wear resistance, increase antistatic properties and reduce the likelihood of dust formation on the floor surface. In addition, concrete grinding technology can be used to create a matte or shiny surface effect.
  3. Application of reinforcing meshes. This is a method of strengthening concrete, which consists in using special reinforcing meshes made of steel wire. Reinforcing meshes help to improve the strength and stability of the concrete floor, as well as prevent the formation of cracks.
  4. Application of protective coatings. The method consists in applying various protective coatings to the surface of the concrete floor, such as wood, epoxy resin, polyurethane paint, rubber chips. Self-leveling flooring can also be used to strengthen concrete floors, as it can improve their strength and wear resistance. These coatings provide protection of the concrete surface from aggressive influences, improve its resistance to mechanical influences, and also improve its aesthetic appearance.
  5. Filling cavities under a concrete floor is also a popular method of strengthening the surface. It is used to increase the strength and load capacity, eliminate deformations and reduce the likelihood of surface failure.
  6. Use of injectable materials. Injection materials are used to fill cracks and defects in concrete floors. This is a modern and eco-friendly reinforcement method that helps prevent further cracks and improve the strength of concrete.

The choice of surface reinforcement method depends on the nature of the damage, the causes of its occurrence, as well as the specific conditions of its operation.

Advantages of working with Premium Technologies

Premium Technologies is a company that has been operating for a long time and has established itself as a responsible performer. To strengthen the concrete floor, we use the author’s methods of geopolymer injection based on technological maps developed and approved in Europe and the CIS. We guarantee an increase in the service life of the facility and its safety. The company uses environmentally friendly materials and disposes of all waste itself.

What does the problem with the base look like?

Depending on the type of concrete, the cause, and the degree of damage, signs of surface damage may include:

  • small or large cracks on the concrete surface;
    the appearance of flaking;
  • pits on the concrete surface that can create obstacles to the movement of people and vehicles;
  • corrosion of rebar, which can cause the concrete floor to become less strong and stable.

If you have reached this block, then you care about the future of your property. By applying for help from qualified specialists in time, you will significantly save your time and financial costs.

The first step to save an object that is subject to destruction is to examine the building by specialists. This will help you avoid making rash or ill-considered decisions about measures aimed at stopping this process.

Premium Technologies specialists will go to the site and determine the type of foundation deformation and find out its causes. Depending on the data obtained, they will perform the necessary calculations, determine which measures will help to stop the destruction of the building, and which method of strengthening the foundation will be optimal.

Based on this information, you will be able to make an informed decision in which of the three directions to go: 
Strengthening of the concrete floor is possible after eliminating the causes that caused its damage.

Performing work using Premium Technologies technology does not require moving out residents or stopping the operation of the house. 

The materials we use are durable and resistant to aggressive environments. Premium Technologies has the ability to guarantee works for up to 60 years. 

We use Premium Technologies geopolymer resin injection technology, which is similar to a "microsurgical operation" without excavation and excavation or clutter management.

Cracks in the walls are closed as the building structure rises. Windows and doors will work normally again if there were misalignments before. 

Most projects are completed within two to three days. Keep in mind that each project is different.
