Concrete Repair / Site problem guide

Dormant structural crack requiring bond

Crack appears stable but reduces continuity or permits ingress.

A practical decision sequence

Diagnose the cause, then verify the repair.

Use the site evidence to agree a project-specific method with the responsible engineer, concrete producer, manufacturer or specialist applicator.

01 / Symptom

What is happening?

Crack appears stable but reduces continuity or permits ingress.

02 / Inspect and test

Evidence to collect

Confirm inactivity and structural significance with monitoring and engineer assessment.

03 / Likely mechanism

Why it can fail

Shrinkage, one-time overload or earlier movement may have left a stable opening.

04 / Technical response

Choose the system

Where specified, use compatible epoxy injection or another engineered repair to restore bond.

05 / Site execution

Control the application

Prepare and seal crack face; use approved port spacing, pressure and cure.

06 / Acceptance

Verify the result

Record resin use, refusal and verification testing specified by engineer.

Avoid this shortcut

Epoxy injection is not an automatic answer to every visible crack.

These guides are editorial starting points, not a project specification. Confirm the design, product data, substrate conditions and inspection plan for the actual site.
