This demonstration will review ICRI surface preparation guideline and material requirements, mixing, application protocol and product merits for achieving an ultra-smooth surface renovation.
We will provide a brief presentation on the AET team, the AET services and business, how we operate as a team and perform our testing services, and what benefits we can provide our customers. We strive to get to know our clients well, educate them, and provide innovative, multi-disciplinary, and personalized service.
This demonstration covers MiraGard Granite, a water-based dual component, self-crosslinking acrylic resin binder specifically designed for use as a decorative vinyl flake broadcast system to simulate the depth and texture of natural granite stone. The product is moisture vapor permeable and can be used as a beautiful decorative topcoat over new concrete or existing concrete needing repairs whether exterior, interior, slabs-on-grade or elevated slabs. It is also rapid curing and can be completed in one day with fast return to service typically in as little as only 24 hours, and offers outstanding durability and wear resistance, UV stable for superior color retention and weathering resistance, good resistance to moisture absorption, environmentally friendly and VOC compliant and water-based for easy clean-up.
This demonstration will highlight the various product forms that can be integrated in a retrofit solution for extreme loading, that the product utilizes existing retrofit construction implementation practices and provides a lighter-weight retrofit solution when compared to retrofits that utilize standard or high-strength concrete solutions, and has superior multi-threat mitigation performance when compared with other concrete retrofit mitigation solutions for extreme loading events.
Grout-filled socks combined with threaded bars are gaining popularity to form a strong chemical and mechanical bond for securing external walls to hollow concrete floor slabs, for stitching cracked solid and multi-lead walls, for stabilizing rubble-filled walls, and securing unstable parapet walls and arches. This technology is ideal where high levels of performance are required in bending for heavy duty, high load applications. The demonstration session will provide an overview of this fast, efficient, proven installation technique.
How to properly mix, place and finish MG-Krete, a 2-component product and permanent repair material, will be demonstrated. The demonstration will show methodologies employed in horizontal, vertical, overhead and structural repairs using MG-Krete. Participants will learn the chemistry behind the product and the reason why it is a successful permanent repair material. There will be a full technical review of the product benefits.
Demonstration will present the Aquajet product line of equipment and hydrodemolition work up close. We will feature the Aqua Cutter robot, the Ecosilence high-pressure pump system, and the Ecoclear water treatment plant. We will also demonstrate the advancements in hydrodemolition equipment and problems solved for contractors.
Three precision epoxy grouts: E3-Deep Pour, E3-Xtreme and E3-Flowable will be demonstrated. These products are precision grouts used to support equipment and machinery in demanding environments. The demonstration will explain why and where epoxy grouts are used, how they are tested, project preparation, mixing and application, and other considerations. The features and benefits of each product will be described, and newly patented dust-limiting aggregate technology will be introduced.
Demonstration will show what an acceptable CMU substrate for application of air barrier materials looks like, how to prepare Sprayable Cat 5 air barrier coating for application, discuss proper pump specifications for spraying the material, and demonstrate best practices for spraying Sprayable Cat 5, a Silyl-Terminated Polymer air barrier to a CMU substrate, while providing “tips & tricks” along the way.
