The Protection and Repair of Wastewater Structures

Properly treated wastewater is essential to protect the environment and prevent disease.  Many wastewater treatment plants suffer from the effects of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) that dissolves into the surface, forming sulphuric acid that attacks concrete and can have a detrimental effect on the lifespan of a structure.  Wastewater concrete structures can suffer significant deterioration, cracks and leaks that compromise standards in the handling and storage of wastewater.

Our experienced team offer a range of services including surveys and inspections to determine the extent of deterioration, providing information on the current condition of the structure and recommendations for the repair and future protection services.

Case Study
We completed a refurbishment scheme for three sludge tanks and a buffer tank for Severn Trent Water at Colehill Sewage Treatment Works. We were asked to complete a series of repairs caused by badly poured and finished concrete. A specialist concrete coating system was specified for the job to protect rebar and provide sufficient concrete cover.
Case Study
The lifespan of a pumping station wet well was significantly increased for Anglian Water with a cementitious coating system following its structural repair. The structure had suffered from hydrogen sulphide corrosion to internal concrete surfaces.
