The sewer pump station wet well & manhole over the years had deteriorated due to high levels of hydrogen sulphide attack on the concrete. Horowhenua District Council had planned to replace the wet well with a new chamber. The cost of replacement was expensive and required the pump station to be out of commission for several days.
Through the innovative products from MasterMix a cost effective alternative was carried out to refurbish the existing wet well using bothย RAPID REPAIRย andย ARMOR.
Mastermixย RAPID REPAIRย is a high performance product offering fast curing times with early high compressive strength characteristics, excellent adhesion qualities, is hydrophobic and can be trowelled to a smooth finish.
With curing times of just 17 minutes and a compressive strength of 20MPa within 2 hours the council was able to conduct repairs and return the sewer pump station to operational status in under 5 hours!
