In most cases, seawall repair is NOT a DIY project. It’s important to find a qualified seawall repair specialist instead of a general contractor. In this article, we’ll explain the benefits of Seawall Repair Network® repair products when installed by our network of highly-trained preferred marine contractors.
SW-RP1: Seawall Repair Product for Sealing Leaks & Strengthening Soil
As mentioned in a previous blog post, What is SW-RP1? Why Do You Need It for Seawall & Bulkhead Repair? “The hallmark of Seawall Repair Network® is our proprietary SW-RP1 repair permeation solution. Simply put – it is the best product on the market for seawall soil stabilization. SW-RP1 is essential for sealing your seawall’s panel cracks, filling voids and defects behind your seawall, and perhaps most importantly, proving soil stabilization for your seawall. SW-RP1 transforms the surrounding soil of your seawall into a water-tight impermeable mass, which blocks the transference of energy and lateral stress caused by the typical build-up of hydrostatic pressure behind the seawall. SW-RP1 is environmentally safe and is certified to NSF (61-5) standards for contact with drinking water.
SW-RP6: Seawall Repair Product for Stabilizing Surrounding Soil
In the blog article SW-RP6: Soil Stabilization for Seawall Repair we explain that “SW-RP6 is ideal for stabilizing soil around ancillary structures during the seawall repair process. This comes into play with buildings, parking garages, roadways, and other infrastructure in close proximity to seawalls with soil loss and settlement. In cases like this, the Seawall Repair Network® contractor essentially creates chemical grout columns to provide stability. SW-RP6 is phthalate-free and NSF certified to NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 (approved for contact with drinking water).”
Seawall Repair Products for Concrete Preservation
From Seawall & Bulkhead Concrete Preservation: “Concrete is chemically formed through a process known as hydration/curing. Concrete deteriorates chemically under the influence of soil, water, and air-born contaminants, weathering action, and corrosion of the embedded steel reinforcement. Seawall Repair Network® offers a complete solution to prevent, restore, and protect steel-reinforced concrete by modifying its chemical and physical properties.” Click here for more information on Seawall Preservation products.
