The Challenge . . .

To find a corrosion protection system that could be easily applied to both precast and in-situ elements without the costly issues of applying and reapplying that are associated with silane.

The Solution . . .

DCI® S, which is batched safely as the concrete is being produced was chosen as the solution. Using DCI® S integral corrosion inhibitor meant no external access required to protect the structure. It also eliminates the risk of over-spraying chemicals into a sensitive environment.
