Flexcrete Unveils Solution to Sheet Piling Problem
01 Jan 2005
Flexcrete , which specialises in repair to marine and other structures, has launched a new product, Cemprotec Clutch Filler , to complement its successful Cemprotec E942 system.
The new product is designed to fill the 'clutch' or interlock on sheet piling, a detail which is often overlooked and which is particularly vulnerable to Accelerated Low Water Corrosion (ALWC).
Traditionally the onset of corrosion in sheet piling has been delayed by the application of a coating system such as high build coal tar epoxy. However, coal tar epoxy coatings do not offer a viable solution to the clutch filler problem, claims Cemprotec.
These coatings only cover the areas they can reach and do not go deep enough to offer complete protection. There is, the company claims, an increased likelihood of corrosion in the interlock, which the new clutch filler is designed to address.
