Concrete is the world’s most widely-used and most important construction material. Humans have utilised concrete as a structural material since the 8th century BCE and concrete structures nearly two thousand years old remain standing today, testament to concrete’s durability.
But the concrete surfaces at modern natural-resources facilities must endure incredibly harsh conditions – corrosive chemicals, physically-damaging friction and impact, and extremes of heat and cold. Unprotected surfaces are easily penetrated by spilled chemicals; vehicle activity, loading and unloading, and scrapes can cause impact damage leading to surface deterioration; and concrete poured without consideration of environmental temperatures can suffer high-temperature corrosion have a drastically-reduced operational lifespan.
With the punishing environments present at mining, oil, and gas facilities across Australia, it makes good sense to speak to the experts in concrete surfaces and concrete protection: Arrunga Surface Solutions. Call us today on 08 8346 0488.
