The use of gunite and gunite refractory repair and maintenance has expanded significantly with modern steelmaking technology. Years back, forward-thinking builders saw it was likely that gunite would be the only means of maintaining furnaces used for steelmaking to repair them from the uneven wear their linings frequently sustain. But guniting is performed for so […]
Winter is tough on concrete, which makes fall a good time to repair concrete cracks. If you wait until spring to start segregated concrete repair, you may face additional damage that will go beyond your budget. Segregation of concrete occurs when cement paste and aggregates separate either during installation or when vibration and other causes […]
Demolition is a part of doing business. Whether you’re remodeling a single room or clearing the way for a bold new construction project, the first step in any new build is to remove what’s there to create a fresh canvas for your design. If that sounds like you, there are some steps you can take […]
Like everything else in the factory environment, concrete surfaces need routine maintenance. That’s doubly true for refractory concrete, which has the burdensome task of protecting heating elements from thermal damage and corrosion. Heat-processing equipment needs refractory protection to function safely and efficiently, so it only makes sense to count refractory concrete maintenance among your plant’s […]
Concrete is an ever-present material in factories and industrial structures throughout Indiana. And for good reason: it’s durable, reliable, resistant to abrasion and well-suited for demanding environments. But it’s far from indestructible. In fact, without proper care and protection, industrial concrete surfaces can succumb heavily to environmental detractors. When they do, they become a liability. […]
