Infrastructure Solutions from KARÇİMSA Yapı Kimyasalları

The bridges, tunnels, and transport networks that connect our cities operate under constant duress. These structures are not only subject to massive structural loads and constant vibration but are also relentlessly attacked by environmental factors like carbonation, chloride ingress, and extreme weather.

At KARÇİMSA Yapı Kimyasalları, we provide advanced construction chemicals for infrastructure projects designed to extend service life and ensure the safety of the public through scientifically backed durability.

Bridges and Elevated Structures: Restoration and Corrosion Control

Bridges are essential links in our transportation system, and they’re constantly exposed to the elements. Issues like deck degradation, cracks in parapets, and corrosion of the steel reinforcement are common. If ignored, these problems can seriously compromise a bridge’s structural integrity. That’s why KARÇİMSA provides advanced concrete repair systems for bridges designed to offer complete protection against these threats.

Our strategy for maintaining and protecting bridges involves a few key elements:

High-Modulus Repair Mortars: These are formulated to rebuild the structural profile of columns and beams while ensuring they expand and contract at the same rate as the existing concrete.
Corrosion Inhibitors: We use specialized treatments that soak into the concrete, creating a defensive layer around the steel rebar to stop rust from forming.
Protective Coatings for Infrastructure Concrete: Our coatings are resistant to UV light and carbonation, shielding the structure from damaging de-icing salts and airborne pollutants.

Tunnels and Underground Structures: Advanced Waterproofing

Underground tunnels and passages face a specific and significant challenge: continuous water pressure from the surrounding soil. Without effective tunnel waterproofing and repair solutions, water intrusion can lead to electrical system failure, structural damage, and dangerous driving conditions. KARÇİMSA delivers comprehensive systems that adhere to the most rigorous international civil engineering standards, guaranteeing that underground structures remain completely dry and structurally sound for the long haul.

We use a layered approach, which includes crystalline waterproofing admixtures, flexible membrane barriers, and fast-curing injection grouts to manage and eliminate water flow. For existing tunnels, our services as a bridge and tunnel repair mortar supplier mean we can provide high-build materials that are easy to apply overhead or on vertical surfaces, ensuring that even the most hard-to-reach leaks are sealed for good.

Retaining Walls and Ancillary Structures: Maintaining Integrity

We can’t forget the supporting players in civil engineering: culverts, retaining walls, and drainage channels. These structures work hard but often suffer from surface wear and cracking due to soil movement and constant water exposure. KARÇİMSA offers civil engineering repair and protection materials specifically for these environments. We focus on effective crack injection systems and high-strength mortars that can withstand the abrasive force of water and debris.

Performance Standards and Technical Compliance

Civil infrastructure projects demand meticulous documentation and a high level of compliance, often exceeding what is required for standard building construction. KARÇİMSA guarantees that all our infrastructure repair and waterproofing systems meet or surpass EN/ASTM and local regulatory mandates. We actively support everyone involved in the project with:

Technical Advisory: Offering assistance with writing detailed specifications and selecting the right materials based on the structure’s specific exposure class.
Method Statements: Providing clear, step-by-step application instructions to maintain consistent quality on the job site.
Documentation: Delivering complete submittal packages, including all necessary test certificates and compliance reports for municipal review.
