In many business areas, certain activities are undertaken that carry a potential risk of soil pollution. This relates to the construction of tank farms, storage tanks, drain pipes and floor boards, water purification stations, reservoirs, reception tanks and sewage systems. The government sets strict requirements to provisions that prevent soil pollution caused by environmentally hazardous substances.
Soil protecting provisions that guarantee liquid tightness offer the only solution in order to prevent hazardous substances to penetrate into the ground. Implementations will have to be assessed as well in order to prevent chemicals to filter through.
It is imperative the client provides a correct definition of the possible environmental load, including details like:
- the nature of the products that may be used on the concrete coating;
- the concentration and temperature;
are the premises for choosing the correct concrete coating system. It is also important to know whether the chemical products will be used on the coating on a continuous basis or only in the event of a calamity.
Incafin-Tricyclon nv, "your partner and contractor" can offer you numerous solutions to safeguard you as client with regard to this environmental legislation. You can, if desired, request a liquid tightness certificate after completion of our works, which will then be issued by an independently recognised office. This certificate will offer you, after sampling on site, a secured guarantee. A specialised insurance policy will fully cover this guarantee! Activities ranging between waterproofing, concrete renovation and concrete coating using balanced thermal hardening plastic resin systems are very efficient and already used on a wide scale by the Incafin-Tricyclon NV.
