Concrete structures immersed in marine and hydraulic environments face relentless challenges. A jetty’s exposure to constant tidal action or a reservoir’s internal hydrostatic pressure means these assets are continually exposed to salt spray, chlorides, sulfates, and intense UV radiation.
At KARÇİMSA Yapı Kimyasalları, we offer specialized, high-performance construction chemicals for marine and water structures specifically designed to combat these threats and guarantee long-term structural resilience.
Coastal concrete in the splash and tidal zones endures some of the most destructive conditions in civil engineering. The constant cycle of wetting and drying speeds up chloride-induced corrosion of steel reinforcement, often leading to concrete spalling and significant structural loss. We provide highly specialized marine repair mortars for jetties and sea walls formulated for superior density and minimal permeability.
Our approach to coastal protection utilizes a comprehensive, multi-layer defense system:
Water-retaining structures require more than just a surface treatment; they need a system that can flex with the structure while withstanding continuous water pressure. KARÇİMSA is a key construction chemicals supplier for marine projects in the UAE, providing specialized waterproofing systems for concrete water tanks and reservoirs that comply with stringent potable water safety standards.
Beyond municipal infrastructure, we also supply water tank and pool waterproofing materials for commercial and residential applications. Our systems feature flexible, fiber-reinforced cementitious membranes that effectively bridge small shrinkage cracks and create a seamless lining, ensuring total water containment without leaks or contamination.
Desalination and wastewater treatment facilities operate in aggressive conditions due to high chemical concentrations and fluctuating pH levels. To maintain operational efficiency and safety, these technical water structures need durable protective coatings for marine concrete. Our industrial-grade liners safeguard the concrete from chemical attack, erosion, and microbial damage, substantially extending the facility’s maintenance intervals.
Effective marine concrete repair and protection systems are founded on the concept of proactive durability. Instead of simply reacting to visible cracks, KARÇİMSA promotes a system-based approach that tackles the root causes of deterioration. By combining low-permeability mortars with sophisticated chemical barriers, we implement a “Design-for-Life” strategy that aligns with the highest international benchmarks.
The main advantages of using our marine and water systems include:
