Real-World Experiences with Fusion-Crete®

Repairs of Storm Drain/Catch Basin and Adjacent Portions of Driveway Approach

(click on thumbnails for enlarged photos)

Sequence9No1.jpg (35572 bytes) This storm drain/catch basin is immediately adjacent to the driveway leading to a major gasoline/service station. The rear wheels of heavy tanker trucks delivering gasoline to this station have repeatedly collapsed the lintel and its concrete topping in manners similar to that shown here. Previously, such damage was corrected by complete removal and replacement at tremendous expense. This time, a FUSION-CRETE® concrete-adhesive/enhancer product will be used to repair the damage.

 All of the broken concrete pieces and other debris have been removed from the repair area. The collapsed lintel is now clearly exposed and ready for straightening.
Sequence9No3.jpg (39168 bytes) The lintel has been jacked up to its proper position with the use of the two jacks seen in this and the previous photograph. Three clusters of heavy steel rebar have been inserted to temporarily provide the needed additional support to this section of the lintel. Several days later, when the repair concrete had set up sufficiently, the host community's welder removed the clusters of rebar and welded heavy support bars to the underside of the lintel extending down into the concrete roadway below for permanent support.

Sequence9No5.jpg (32589 bytes) The adjacent portions of the driveway approach have also been repaired.
Sequence9No6.jpg (31590 bytes) The top of the lintel, a small portion of the adjacent sidewalk and the concrete inside the opening of the storm drain/catch basin have all been beautifully repaired with the use of FUSION-CRETE® products.
Sequence9No7.jpg (30179 bytes) Substantial savings were made possible with the use of FUSION-CRETE® products by eliminating the need to remove and replace this severely damaged storm drain/catch basin.
 The estimated time for completion of this project, not including the welding which was performed subsequently: 3 ¼ hours.
