Mining Facility Concrete and Steel Repairs After more than six decades of continuous salt mining, this facility had fallen into disrepair, necessitating extensive concrete and steel repairs. The walls, columns, beams, and secondary structural members exhibited significant signs of deterioration, including efflorescence, spalling, substantial steel loss, and overall structural degradation. These images showcase the visible damage inflicted by the surrounding environment on the walls, columns, beams, and other secondary structural elements. The facility, nestled near Lake Huron, faces harsh environmental challenges such as severe lake storms that bring excessive moisture and extreme cold. Additionally, the salt production process generates significant chloride ion migration, causing rebar swelling and eventual concrete spalling. This photo displays the CarbonSeal carbon fiber application with the topcoat applied, highlighting the transformation of the structure. You can also see the initial application without the topcoat in progress. The completed CarbonSeal system installation, featuring topcoat application across beams, slabs, and walls, has successfully restored the structural integrity of the facility. HJ3 designed a cutting-edge composite fiber system to reinforce the external walls, selected columns, and internal supports, effectively replacing lost tensile strength and shear reinforcement. Through this innovative approach, they repaired and strengthened an impressive 9,800 square feet of surface area using 20,000 square feet of carbon fiber, adding up to three decades to the facility’s lifespan. HJ3’s team of expert engineers is ready to craft custom structural solutions tailored to your needs. Don’t hesitate to reach out!

Concrete and Steel Repairs at Salt Mining Facility
Lamination Base Film can be categorized into several types based on surface finish and end-use applications. One key type is Matte Base Film, which features a smooth, non-reflective surface ideal for creating a refined and elegant appearance. This type of film is particularly suitable for high-end packaging, luxury printing, and post-lamination processes like spot UV and foil stamping. Another important category is the Thermal Lamination Base, which refers to BOPP films designed specifically as substrates for EVA adhesive coating. These films are engineered for excellent adhesion to paper and board when applied through heat-based laminating machines, ensuring a strong and durable bond. Additionally, the Book Cover Base Film is tailored for the publishing and education industries, offering enhanced scuff resistance and print compatibility. It provides both visual appeal and long-lasting protection for textbooks, magazines, and notebooks. Together, these variants make Lamination Base Film a versatile choice across diverse finishing needs.
