Soil treatment
What HAMAT provides
HAMAT assesses the cause before specifying the repair. Signs such as spalling, exposed reinforcement and cracking are reviewed before deciding on removal of unsound material, substrate preparation, reinforcement protection or reinstatement within the agreed scope.
How the repair proceeds
The scope may include removing deteriorated material, preparing the substrate, treating reinforcement and reinstating the surface. Structural concerns need an assessment before repair materials are selected.
What you receive
The agreed deliverables may include a record of the affected areas, the approved repair materials and records of specified checks.
Service limits
The technical scope sets requirements for surface preparation, repair materials, protection and verification. An element affected by ongoing movement or moisture may require separate work to address the cause.
Frequently asked questions
Can the repair method be selected from photos?
Photos show the location and help prepare the inspection. The cause and condition of the element guide the repair method and may warrant a structural assessment or further tests.
How should I show the location of the damage?
Take a close-up and a wider photo of the slab, beam or column. Mention nearby drains or services and any cracking that has changed over time.
