I Have a reservoir with PVC linings that are brittle and torn on the top of the walls and the reservoir has a few cracks. can you help or give any suggestions
Good Afternoon Eric
We have successfully supplied product to repair PVC dam linings and cracks in reservoirs. Although we have products to do repairs, we need to inspect the reservoir to assess the extent of the damage to enable us to specify to correct repair method. This will ensure a long lasting repair
Thanks Keith
How do I choose the right admixture for my project?
The choice depends on project goals—whether you need faster setting, higher durability, reduced permeability, or improved workability. Our team evaluates your site conditions, concrete mix design, and performance needs to recommend the best solution.
What causes cracks in concrete, and can they be prevented?
Cracks often result from shrinkage, thermal movement, or improper curing. While minor cracks are common, they can be minimised with the right mix design, proper reinforcement, controlled curing, and using shrinkage-reducing admixtures.
Do you offer onsite failure analysis?
Yes. We provide comprehensive onsite investigations to identify the root cause of concrete issues—whether related to mix design, application, or environmental stress—and deliver corrective recommendations to prevent recurrence.
What is the benefit of using a concrete testing laboratory?
Testing ensures that your concrete meets strength, durability, and performance standards before and after placement. Accredited labs provide reliable data for compliance, safety, and long-term assurance.
Can admixtures improve the sustainability of concrete?
Yes. Certain admixtures reduce water demand, enhance durability, and extend the service life of structures, lowering the overall carbon footprint of concrete production and reducing maintenance needs.
What role do construction chemicals play in a project?
Construction chemicals include sealants, adhesives, coatings, and waterproofing solutions that enhance protection, extend service life, and improve the overall performance of concrete structures.
Why should I partner with On Site Tools instead of sourcing products directly?
We don’t just supply products—we provide tailored solutions, accredited testing, and expert guidance. This ensures you get the right product applied correctly for reliable results and reduced risk.
How can admixtures help in extreme weather conditions?
In hot or windy conditions, retarders delay setting times to prevent premature hardening, while in cold conditions, accelerators speed up curing. Air-entraining admixtures also protect concrete against freeze-thaw cycles. Curing compounds and evaporation reducers, reduce moisture lost which in turn reduces curing cracks and powdering of concrete surfaces.
