PROCEDURE FOR EPOXY
INJECTION USING THE
Structural
Concrete Bonding PROCESS
-
Clean
surface cracked member by wire brushing,
power washing, sandblasting, probing and
vacuuming as required.
-
Prepare
injection ports in the crack by
inserting a straight pin, nail or wire
into the crack.
-
Seal the
surface of the crack with an epoxy gel
material.
-
Remove the
nail from the crack to expose the
injection port. Seal the epoxy mixing
head over the injection port by use of a
neoprene rubber gasket, compressed
manually to provide a pressure seal.
-
Inject the
epoxy into the lowest, or end port of
the crack. Continue the injection using
sufficient pressure to keep the material
moving until the epoxy exudes from the
next port.
-
Seal the
port into which the epoxy was being
injected and continue the process by
injecting into the port from which the
material has just exuded.
-
Continue
the injection process until all ports
have been injected and pressure
resistance has been achieved.
