Client and Facility Overview

Our industrial client is located in Illinois and specializes in operations that involve the use of various corrosive chemicals. With a facility designed to handle extensive chemical processing, the integrity of their infrastructure, particularly their concrete foundations, is of paramount importance to them.

Decision Driver and Timing

The complete deterioration of the concrete base under a heavily used tank necessitated swift action. Acting quickly was crucial to minimize downtime and avoid disruption to their operations.

Scope of Work

Complete removal of the deteriorated concrete base
Setup of forms for the new concrete pour
Installation of a quick-setting concrete to minimize downtime

Process

Our concrete division, Redimere Surface Solutions, commenced the project by meticulously removing the eroded concrete base. This step was crucial to ensure a clean and stable foundation for the new concrete work.

Once the old base was removed, our crew immediately set forms to guide the new concrete pour. Accurate form setting is essential to creating a level and durable surface.

Due to the time-sensitive nature of the project, we chose a quick-setting concrete mix. This solution allowed us to significantly reduce the curing time and get the facility back in service quickly.

Client Satisfaction

The client expressed appreciation for the quick response and professional handling of this urgent matter. The timely and efficient completion of the project allowed them to resume normal operations with minimal disruption.
