EMERGENCY REPAIR MATERIAL RESOLVES ACO DRAIN FAILURES AT ARMY TANK GARRISON

Meon were proud to provide recommendations and guidance on our specialist concrete repair products, for Dyer & Butler in a recent ACO drain repair.

Case Study

Problem

Dyer & Butler have a long history in construction of high-quality projects, within the most challenging defence and aviation sectors.

 A recent project included a challenge of repairing failing ACO drains, in a busy tank training garrison with very heavy military equipment traffic.

The surface water drain off was starting to affect the surrounding area, the impact of leaving this situation speeds up exponentially and causes more damage in the future.

In such a busy heavy military environment, safe and efficient repair was essential.

Solution

This emergency repair would require a fast early strength concrete, with the ability to be used at over 200mm depth.

It was crucial that the repair would be resistant to the impact of heavy military traffic and have a fast-acting time, with minimal shrinkage.

We recommended our MAGMA HardMaster W615 as the most effective solution for the problem at hand, meeting all the requirements for such a repair.

Result

The MAGMA HardMaster W615 was a highly effective solution, thanks to its excellent early compressive strength and ability to withstand the rigours of the heavy military traffic, in just 90 minutes.

The product benefits from continuous strength gain and shrinkage resistance as the product cures, reaching its maximum strength in 24 hours.

The product was easily applied without any need for compaction equipment due to the flowing nature of the product, which allowed for minimal disruption of garrison procedures.

Rapid Strength Flowable Concrete

HardMaster W615 is a high performance rapid set and rapid strength flowable backfill concrete which is designed to complement the HardMaster range of bedding mortars, and can be opened to traffic just 90 minutes after being mixed and placed. It is perfect for any application that requires high early strength gain and a quick return to service time. Itโ€™s rapid set and high early strength development help reduce construction and road closure times, making it ideal for both planned and emergency repairs. Typical applications include the backfill of carriageway ironwork, post and barrier erection and is is compatible for use with concrete, brick and stone substrates. HardMaster W615 complies with Department of Transport HD 27/04 Design Manual for Roads and Bridges Vol 7 Sec 2 Clause 3.11.
