OVERVIEW
Date of Project: September 2017
Project Owner: Cairns Regional Council
Project Contractor: Waterstop Solutions Pty, Ltd
Project Engineer: Cairns Regional Council Market/Environment Wastewater
Substrate: Concrete
Size of Project: 12 x 2m joint replacement
THE CHALLENGE
The joints on a municipal wastewater treatment tank had degenerated to the point where repairing and resealing were necessary. Cairns Regional Council required a product with a fast cure time and rapid compressive strength gains.
Five Star® Solution
Five Star Structural Concrete® V/O was selected due to its rapid set and high early strength gains; it reaches 2,500 psi (17.2 MPa) within three hours. This rapid strength gain allowed for the repaired joints to be resealed with minimum turnaround time in preparation for the installation of a joint sealant system.
ABOUT FIVE STAR STRUCTURAL CONCRETE® V/O
This is a high-strength, rapid-setting, one-component, permanent concrete repair material for vertical and overhead structural repairs.
It produces a repair that is dimensionally stable, develops an integral bond to existing concrete, and restores structural integrity within hours of placement.
Provides increased corrosion protection to steel-reinforced structures with migrating corrosion inhibitor technology and very low chloride ion permeability. Moisture-sensitive coatings can be applied in 8 to 24 hours.
