Applications

Sewers, pipework, sea walls, outfall pipes, surface spall repairs, tank repairs, manhole lining, inspection cover filling and fittings, pot hole filling, water channels etc.

Method of use

To 4 or 4 1⁄2 parts of Quickcrete add 1 part of water by volume. Mix thoroughly for 1-2 minutes to reach the consistency of medium soft glazing putty. Mix only quantities that can be used immediately as Quickcrete hardens in 4-8 minutes. Do not add more water or a weaker mix will result. Water used may be either fresh or sea water.

Quickcrete should then be placed in a firm manner to ensure a complete bond of the area being treated.

For deposits of Quickcrete less than 1⁄2" thick, they should be cured for 16 hours with damp sand or sprayed with a curing compound.

Thin sections on pipework etc. can be coated with damp hessian until initial cure is effected.

The finish of Quickcrete can be given a smooth, even surface by hand or machine trowelling.

Before applying Quickcrete to dry concrete masonry etc., it is suggested that they be soaked with water in order to provide a good bond to the Quickcrete itself.

Curing

Quickcrete reaches its initial set in 4 1⁄2 to 5 minutes, can be trafficked after 30 minutes, but takes 28 days to achieve maximum strength. It is important that the water in Quickcrete is not sucked away through contact with dry concrete or allowed to prematurely evaporate through the effect of sun or wind. A damp covering of cloth, sand, etc., is effective in the latter case.
