Track: Water/Wastewater
Concrete infrastructure within municipal wastewater systems faces significant challenges due to exposure to corrosive environments, inflow and infiltration, and mechanical wear. This session explores advanced methodologies for the preparation, restoration, and protection of concrete surfaces in wastewater facilities. Emphasizing innovative techniques and materials, the session aims to extend the lifespan and resilience of such structures. Key aspects include: Surface Preparation: Fundamental steps to ensure optimal adhesion and performance of protective systems. Restoration Techniques: Methods such as patching, crack injection, and resurfacing. Protective Lining Systems: Cutting-edge applications evaluated for their chemical resistance, durability, and adaptability to varying environmental conditions within wastewater systems.
