How many times have you seen a marvelous structure bleeding
out from water seepages? Any concrete structure faces serious threat from
leakage and seepage of water. These leakages of water are not only a stain to
the beauty of the structure; rather they are the source generator of massive
destruction if not properly treated.
A serious imitation of concrete is the presence of void
spaces in its structure. These void spaces allow the water and other chemicals
to interact with the molecules of the lattice and weaken their strength. It is
for that reason that water get to interact and tear the molecule structure and
open leakages in any concrete structure. Even though any leakage or crack in
concrete structure might proves to be fatal for the structure, still the
leakages in the foundation gives the most dangerous and alarming situations and
needs concentrated recovering remedies to stop any disaster. Leakage injection
is a common remedial measure practiced around the world by expert FM contractor to stop infiltration of water into the foundation or any other part of the
structure. Leakage injection is done by injecting a water resistant material
into the leakage or crack that stops and isolate the concrete structure from
infiltrating water or other material. Apart from leakage injection, crack injection
is also performed by FM contractor for similar tasks and for other reasons. The
other primary function of crack injection is to fill the cracks found in the
structure with a fire resistant material to stop any spreading of fire through
cracks. Most of the today’s commercial building structures are massive in size,
therefore they need appropriate measure to be kept safe from spreading of fire
that can take precious lives and loss of money. It is therefore impulsive for
all mega structures to fill in the cracks found in the vicinity of building by
appropriate crack injection procedure.
