Meeting the Unique Challenges of Seawall Construction Projects for Extended Life and Corrosion Protection
Seawalls pose some of the most challenging conditions faced by modern construction projects. Harsh environments and heavy wear are the norm – the constant impact of waves and water ingress combined with sand shifting, erosion, and chloride corrosion. Withstanding those conditions for decades to come while minimizing maintenance/repair costs requires the use of chemically-advanced concrete […]
