Ace Restoration & Waterproofing, Inc.

Scope Of Work

This water feature at the main pool at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort, was built with very porous concrete and insufficient concrete cover over the rebar. The high chlorine content of the water, caused severe corrosion of the reinforcing and subsequent spalling of the concrete.

• Solution to this problem was to remove all concrete cover over the rebar cage.
• Sandblast the steel to remove corrosion.
• Apply a anti-corrosion protective coating to the steel.
• Then ACE formed the columns and installed a dense, high strength polymer mortar.
• A penetrating corrosion inhibiting sealer was applied for further protection.
• To increase confinement of columns a "state of the art" composite was installed. This not only increased the strength of the columns, but offered further protection from the chlorinated water.
• The final step was to install a elastomeric waterproof coating.
