Concrete Protection In A Storage Building
Concrete Protection In A Storage Building
(OP)
Can anyone recommend any special precautions to be taken for the concrete floor and walls in a storage building. The main storage material will be Nitrate based fertilizers. I intend to use horizontally spanning precast concrete wall panels between steel columns for the retention of the fertilizer up to a retained height of 6.0m.
The floor slab is to be in-situ concrete slab on grade.
Are any special additives etc required in the concrete

1. Contact Master Builders, Sonoborn and W. R. Meadows, they all make a variety of concrete coatings for various enviorments.
2. A few years ago I was involved in the construction of a chemical storage facility. The majority of the products were fertilizers. In that instance, the only floor coating was a cure & seal coating to keep down the dust. However, the materials stored were all in some type of manufacturer's packaging: barrels, bags etc., no chemicals were stored directly in contact with the concrete. It sounds like your in a situation where the fertilizer will be stored in bulk, on the concrete floor.
