The construction industry is a versatile field. In addition to the construction of new buildings, the restoration of old buildings is of great importance. Simply put, chemical anchoring is the process of strengthening old structures, also known as root reinforcement.
In this process, a stronger and more durable concrete is obtained by mixing old concrete with new concrete using special chemical agents. This process, also known as “grout injection,” is quite complex and is generally used to reinforce areas of old buildings that are more susceptible to wear and tear than others. Polyester resin is added to the chemical mixture, which is further strengthened by other additives. These chemicals are very strong, so their use requires expert personnel and proper equipment. Like all heavy and dangerous jobs in the construction industry, chemical anchoring should be taken seriously. It can also be used not only for strengthening structures, but also for fixing things like windows, balconies, stairs, and railings.
