HARDTAPE 1200 reinforcement marine projects

Sea walls are subjected to immense environmental stress due to their constant exposure to harsh marine conditions. They face relentless forces from waves, tides, and storm surges, which exert significant pressure and can lead to gradual erosion and structural weakening. Additionally, sea walls must withstand the corrosive effects of saltwater, which can degrade construction materials over time. Without proper care, the integrity of sea walls can be compromised, increasing the risk of flooding, land loss, and damage to coastal communities.

Repairing damaged sea walls is crucial for protecting coastal communities and ecosystems from the destructive forces of the ocean. Sea walls act as a first line of defense against erosion, storm surges, and high waves, preventing flooding and land loss. When these structures are compromised, the risk of severe damage to homes, infrastructure, and natural habitats increases significantly. Prompt repair and reinforcement of damaged sea walls ensure their structural integrity and longevity, safeguarding both human lives and property. Additionally, well-maintained sea walls help preserve the natural shoreline, supporting marine life and coastal biodiversity. Addressing damage early prevents costly, extensive repairs in the future, ensuring sustainable and resilient coastal protection.with HardTape 1200 reinforcement system,one sea wall and dock repairing site,in Xiamen port,China Fujian province,got superior protection and durability in the harshest conditions.

Eco-Friendly Surface Preparation and Advanced Composite Materials for Maritime Applications

Using an environmentally safe crushed glass medium, the surface of the wall can be thoroughly prepared. This process removes years of algae and marine contaminates from the concrete substrate while opening up the pores of the concrete to allow for specialized mortar penetration.

Cracks and deteriorated joints can be addressed with the HardTape 1200 galvanized steel cord tape with anti-rust mortar in order to reestablish strength across the cracks as well as keep unwanted moisture from infiltrating the wall through these joints. In addition HardTape 1200 can be used to provide global strengthening of the wall in order to make up for any section loss in the existing reinforcing steel and to provide additional reinforcement against the pressures from the soil behind the wall. The corners can also be strengthened by wrapping them with the HardTape 1200 steel cord tape.
