As part of a major £16 million upgrade of Eastbourne Wastewater Treatment Works being carried out on behalf of Southern Water, AkzoNobel’s range of Intercrete concrete repair materials have been chosen to refurbish an underground inlet chamber at the plant.
Concrete deterioration exists on a global scale and can severely affect the durability of reinforced concrete structures. The primary causes of chemical attack on concrete include chloride ion penetration, sulphate attack and carbonation, but advances in cementitious coating technology have allowed extended service life solutions to be implemented.
