Benefits of BIG’s Containment Coatings and Repair Services
Environmental Protection
Our containment coatings and repair services offer excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, protecting your local environment from chemical spills, leaks, and contamination. By applying chemical-resistant coatings, we ensure that your secondary containment areas remain intact and functional, mitigating the risk of environmental damage.
Extended Service Life
We significantly extend the service life of secondary containment systems, sumps, pits, channels, and bases by utilizing high-performance coatings. Our epoxy coating options are designed to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring long-term durability and reducing the need for frequent repairs.
Avoid Reconstruction Costs
Our expert services help you avoid costly reconstruction by effectively restoring damaged concrete. We provide comprehensive solutions including resurfacing, crack repair, and expansion joint sealing, utilizing specialized acid-resistant epoxy to address specific chemical threats.
Reduced Downtime
BIG’s coatings and repair services are designed to minimize downtime with cold-applied, fast-curing materials. Our epoxy coatings are particularly effective in rapid application scenarios, ensuring that maintenance is carried out efficiently with minimal disruption.
Lower Maintenance Costs
Our long-lasting epoxy and urethane protective coatings dramatically reduce maintenance costs. By applying acid-resistant concrete coatings and chemical-resistant coatings for concrete, we enhance the longevity of your containment systems and decrease the frequency of maintenance interventions.
Chemical Exposure Protection
Our coatings offer superior protection against chemical exposure, including hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid. Whether you need an acid-resistant concrete coating or a comprehensive chemical-resistant coating system, our solutions are engineered to withstand damaging acid and caustic chemicals.
Disbondment Prevention
Our coating products provide excellent adhesion and flexibility, bridging cracks and preventing disbondment. This ensures that the coatings remain securely in place and continue to protect the underlying concrete.
Impacts and Abrasion Protection
BIG’s coatings are formulated to offer exceptional compressive strength and resistance to impacts and abrasion. Our concrete epoxy coatings and acid-resistant epoxy coatings are ideal for environments subject to mechanical wear and tear.
Safe Application
We use cold-curing, solvent-free, no-VOC materials for our coatings, ensuring a safe application process with minimal environmental impact. Our approach aligns with best practices for safe and sustainable coating application.
Problem: Secondary Containment Area Deterioration Increases the Risk of Environmental Contamination
Secondary containment areas are crucial for preventing chemical spills from contaminating groundwater and the environment. These areas are susceptible to deterioration due to chemical exposure, settlement cracking, freeze/thaw cycles, and impact damage. In the event of an accident, such disrepair can compromise protection and lead to significant environmental contamination.
Owners must assess the extent of damage to the underlying substrate caused by wear, chemical exposure, or cracking. In severe cases, complete replacement of the concrete may be necessary. It is essential to consult a coatings expert to determine the most appropriate coating for protecting the concrete within the containment area from chemical spills and splashes.
Regulations at federal, state, and local levels mandate the proper maintenance of secondary containment areas. Failure to comply can result in fines, and the cleanup and legal costs associated with hazardous material leaks can be substantial.
Solution: Rebuild or Replace Damaged Concrete and Protect It with an Appropriate Coating
Owners should thoroughly evaluate, repair, or replace the underlying substrate based on the extent of damage. They need to assess whether the substrate can support a coating suitable for the chemical risks involved.
Belzona epoxies, including specialized urethane formulations, are proven to be effective for secondary containment repair and protection. These chemical-resistant coatings are engineered to provide excellent resistance to harsh industrial environments. Depending on the chemicals involved, we can match the appropriate coating to ensure optimal performance.
Our repair mortars and protective coatings are designed to be safe, solvent-free, cold-applied, fast-curing, and offer strong bonding. We apply them quickly, minimizing downtime and ensuring long-term protection. Our containment coatings and repair services offer peace of mind by addressing both legal and environmental risks.
