Cracks in concrete can appear in slabs\, walls\, or beams. Although they can be harmless\, some cracks can lead to other\, larger problems unless they are repaired. This is especially the case when there is water present. A solution for repairing wet or leaking cracks is to inject with polyurethane expansion resins\, or sometimes referred to as chemical grouts. For years now\, polyurethane grouts have been used to seal cracks in potable water tanks\, waste water treatment plants\, below grade walls\, large diameter pipes\, floors\, dams\, elevator pits\, and swimming pools. While the use of these materials in the construction community is becoming more common\, there are still many engineers\, contractors\, and owners seeking additional information about them.\n\n\n\nThis presentation will be focused on the following topics:\n\n\n Advantages of Polyurethane Expansion Resins versus Conventional Repairs\n Types of Polyurethane Expansion Resins\n Material Properties and Advantages\n Potential Uses\n Installation Procedures\n Project Profiles and Examples\n No-Cost Technical Services\n\nSpeaker: H. Michael Simpson has spent the past 45 year (40 years with Fox Industries\, Inc. and 5 years with Simpson Strong-Tie) working with contractors\, engineers\, and owners on specifications\, along with on-site training in the use of the expandable polyurethane resins to seal active water leaks\, stabilize surrounding soil\, and prevent leakage in the future. \n\n\n\nThis program is free to ACEC/MN members. Lunch is being provided by Simpson Strong-Tie Company \n\n\n\n* NOTE: To the best of our knowledge\, this program meets the requirements of continuing education as outlined by the Minnesota Board of Registration and should count as 1.5 PDH or .15 CEU. Certificates will be distributed to those in attendance immediately following the seminar. X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
