Industry: Facilities
Solution: Concrete Repair
Location: Everett, WA
Date: August 2026
Problem:
A section of concrete on the floating dock had deteriorated and broken away, exposing the underlying styrofoam flotation core and allowing it to escape into the surrounding water. The root cause of the deterioration was not determined, but the exposed foam began contaminating the area, creating an environmental concern that required prompt attention. Left unaddressed, the damage would have continued to spread, allowing further loss of flotation material and expanding the contaminated area
Solution:
The damaged concrete was cleaned and abraded using a Bristle Blaster to achieve a sound, mechanically profiled surface, and any cracks were v-grooved out to provide a solid key for the repair material. Expanded steel mesh was secured to the sound surrounding concrete to serve as a backstop for the rebuild. Belzona 4911 (Magma TX Conditioner) was applied to both the concrete and steel substrates to promote adhesion, followed immediately by Belzona 4141 (Magma-Build), which was built up in layers to match the original profile of the dock. All work was performed in accordance with Belzona's Instructions for Use (IFU's).
