Covering rebar underwater in a tank
Covering rebar underwater in a tank
(OP)
If we have a reinforced concrete tank and inside it there is a reinforced concrete wall which we want to cut away from the main tank and remove - that will leave ends of rebar in the resulting cut surface.
The tank is for water treatment so having the ends rusting off into the water isn't good.
Is there a way to coat or cover these such that the rebar won't begin rusting?
Is there any standard practice on this?

Another alternative... I've used Sikacrete 123 Plus and it really bonds; you could use it in lieu of the epoxy filler, but, I'd still use the zinc-rich epoxy to coat.
