Tilt Wall and
Exposed Aggregate Repairs
These tilt walls with 1" to 2" exposed aggregate were in need of a repair method that was quick, and durable. FlexKrete was used to fill the voids, then loose pieces of matching aggregate were packed into the FlexKrete putty. Not only was it a perfect match, but this project was done in one pass.
FlexKrete turned an all day job into a one hour job.

Repair Delaminating Industrial Floors
These engine repair rooms had delaminating flooring that needed to be repaired and put back in service quickly. The concrete was saturated with jet fuel and engine oils from 50 years of constant use. The loose sections were chipped out,
and then an extra measure that was taken since the concrete contained so many
contaminants - concrete screws were inserted on 1.5 inch centers with the heads exposed.
A thin coat of FlexPrime was applied,
then the voids were filled flush-to-grade with FlexKrete. A broadcast application of FlexKrete and sand was applied,
then painted with top-coat gray FlexKrete.
The total project took less than a 8 hours and they were able to safely be back
into production the next morning.

Repair of Steel Frame Corrugated Metal Parking Structures
This steel frame composite parking garage was experiencing significant areas of through-slab cracking.
The most likely cause was excessive deflection caused by pan corrosion and thin slabs.
Over the years, this parking garage owner tried various repair materials and all failed until
they met Weatherproofing Services of Crossroads Texas.
WPS used FlexKrete to solve their clients problems without shutting down their
parking garage.
The photo collage is just one repair of many FlexKrete repairs that were performed over the past several years in this structure. Because of the extreme failure of the concrete, the method used was to fully remove the unsound concrete
down to the corrugated metal, then fill flush to grade with FlexKrete.
