Structural Epoxy Injection Repair
AK Services offers a complete epoxy injection system solution. Ranging from epoxy resins and structural epoxy gels to injection ports and two component epoxy pumps.
Epoxy injection, performed by pressure injection of epoxy resin into cracks, is an economical and proven method to repair structural cracks in concrete structures including walls, columns and slabs. Epoxy resin can restore cracked concrete to its original strength. Structural epoxy injection is recommended in areas of none to minor movement. It is good practice to determine the cause of the damages prior to injection to avoid future crack development following the repair.
Epoxies are rigid, very strong adhesives for structural repairs. Epoxies are excellent to regain structural strength in torn concrete structures and other substrates such as wood. Typical defects are structural concrete stress damages, substrate cracks and tears, heat, vibration, tension and compression loads and earthquake related damages.
Our epoxy resins are two component formulations with viscosities ranging from very thin to paste consistency. Applied to specification, epoxy resin repairs are highly resistant, extremely strong long term repair solutions.
Epoxy injection & epoxy crack injection is an economical method of repairing cracks in concrete structures such as walls, foundations, slabs, columns, beams, piers and others.
Polyurethane Injection
Polyurethane injection foam is primarily a water activated sealant or leak-seal grout with expanding properties during reaction. The cured product creates a compression seal of varying flexibility. Polyurethane foam resin often utilizes an activator or accelerator.
Concrete crack injection with polyurethane foam is the best way to stop a foundation wall crack leak. This is because the liquid urethane fills the entire foundation crack. Once inside the crack, it begins to foam and expand. The expanding foam completely fills it and prevents future water leaks. Water will now remain outside of the basement wall and not be able to penetrate into the interior.
Chemical Grout Injection
The chemical grout is injected under pressure through the ports. The grout permeates the soil and hardens, creating a sandstone-like mass. The grouted soil has increased strength, stiffness, and reduced permeability.
At its core, commercial injection grouting is a process where chemical grout is injected into the soil or cracks in a structure to consolidate loose or granular soils, seal leaks, and stabilize structures.
The grout can be manipulated to react in a variety of ways depending on the nature of the issue being addressed, the ground conditions, and the desired outcome.
