Concrete has been an enduring material of choice since the Middle Ages, but even the most robust structures can degrade over time from damaging operating conditions and environmental exposure. The resulting cracking, spalling, or cross-sectional loss can pose serious integrity concerns that must be addressed quickly and effectively.
CROM’s end-to-end solutions give you expert support throughout the lifecycle of your critical infrastructure to ensure it stands the test of time.
CROM’s hydrodemolition technology applies 40k ultra-high-pressured water to remove deteriorated concrete with exceptional accuracy. Penetrating depths ranging from 1 inch to 2 feet, the force generated exceeds the bonding capability of hard deposits, grime, residues and previous coatings.
Our precision-driven process preserves structural integrity by avoiding micro-cracking and prepares your surface for superior bonding of new concrete or protective coatings.
Ideal for:
CROM’s water jetting uses pumps to create ultra-high water pressure (UHP). The force generated exceeds the bonding capability of hard deposits, grime, residues, and previous coatings to prepare your surface for proper refinishing.
Brush-blast cleaning, abrasive blasting by vapor, sand blasting (with strict wet protocols) are also among CROM’s proven solutions to achieve the required surface profile.
Corrosion to water and wastewater pipes is common and unsightly. Blasting the impurities, rust, and flaking layers of paint material off the pipes is necessary to properly prepare the surface for resurfacing and painting. Our trained technicians are often able to reverse the effects and extend the service life of your structure.
CROM’s pressure washing offers a less aggressive approach for cleaning. At correct pressure (often 5000 psi), our trained technicians are able to remove oil, grease or other contaminants with minimal to no damage to the substrate.
Restoring aged or damaged concrete infrastructure can transform it back to its original design, offering a more economical and faster option than replacement. When structural issues arise, we’ll identify the root cause and design a comprehensive restoration plan. This may include removing damaged or deteriorated concrete, cleaning or replacing exposed rebar, applying hand-placed or wet/dry-mix and high-performance coatings that give your structure new life.
From repairing the smallest imperfections to executing a major restoration, CROM’s got you covered.
Wastewater facilities are under constant attack from corrosive biogenic sulfides. Over time, the formation of gases and subsequent conversion to acid cause severe degradation of concrete, metals, coatings and equipment. CROM gives you the cost-and time-efficient option of restoring your facility to like-new condition instead of replacing the structure.
CROM’s design/build approach gives you unparalleled value with custom fiberglass diverters and stainless steel gates, hydroblasting, replacement of compromised reinforcing steel, crack repair, resurfacing, custom high performance coatings system, restoration of gates, rehabilitation of connection points to effluent boxes, removal and rehabilitation of weir gates and more.
Structures where coatings have deteriorated, failed, or just need a cosmetic update are perfect candidates for resurfacing. CROM’s certified technicians expertly remove the existing coating and apply high performance coating systems ranging from water-based acrylic paint to complex, epoxy-based heavy industrial coatings.
CROM’s in-house team of engineers and construction specialists are skilled in designing post tensioned solutions for new construction.
Our fiber reinforcement is an efficient and affordable solution for addressing your structure’s loss of integrity.
CROM’s in-house engineers and certified technicians are trained and approved by system manufacturers for the proper installation of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) and Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) to strengthen systems in a wide array of applications.
Over time, cast-in-place walls are known to develop cracks that must be addressed. When feasible and economically viable, CROM’s epoxy crack injections can extend the life of your structure.
CROM’s in-house engineers and certified technicians assess the source of leaks and can properly inject hydrophilic polyurethane resin to restore your tank’s integrity.
Sealants play a crucial role in keeping a concrete structure airtight and watertight. By properly installing the correct sealant systems, serious damage can be prevented. Our in-house engineers and certified technicians offer construction systems, waterproofing, linings, and expansion joint replacement.
Many bridges suffer from concrete corrosion due to freeze-thaw damage, exposure to saltwater or lack of routine maintenance. CROM’s structural concrete repairs, shotcrete and concrete restoration, and industrial coatings system applications can rehabilitate these structures to extend their life and continued service.
