A concrete repair system from Sika has helped restore residential buildings during major refurbishment works on the Heathgate Estate near Norwich city centre.
Spalled concrete had occurred throughout the 50-year-old buildings, with steel reinforcement exposed in many areas..
Main contractor JB Specialist Refurbishments specified the Sika MonoTop repair mortar for the job following a full structural report carried out by engineering firm Conisbee.
Alan Burd, Quantity Surveyor at JB Specialists, said: “The failing concrete sections throughout the building required a reliable, robust system which offered easy application and long-term protection for the building.
“Sika MonoTop is a quality system with a well-established and proven track record.
“It’s compatible with Sika’s anti-carbonation – and anti-corrosion – systems, so it provides everything required for successful large-scale concrete refurbishment projects.”
