This project consisted of twenty-nine individual containments at the owner's facility where amine products are produced. The containment areas averaged about 3,000 sq. ft. each. Their design was typically poured concrete containment walls with coarse gravel floors (as can be seen in upper photograph). U. S. E. P. A. mandated that the dyked areas all had to be sealed to prohibit PCB migration which was determined to be a serious problem. |
The concrete areas were all rehabilitated and sand blasted, followed by spray application of Pronto Prime priming lacquer. The floors were covered first with non-woven geotextile that was lapped 12 inches up the walls. A fully monolithic seal of WARRIOR 260 was spray applied over the geotextile and up the vertical concrete walls.
WARRIOR 260 coating was applied over the top of the concrete walls to insure full-depth sealed containment areas. WARRIOR 260 was used as an adhesive to connect the lapped areas of the geotextile on both the floor and up the concrete walls.
