Concrete and Steel Repairs at a Mining Facility Nearly six decades of continuous salt mining took a toll on this facility, necessitating extensive concrete and steel repairs. The walls, columns, beams, and secondary structural members exhibited significant signs of deterioration, including efflorescence, spalling, steel corrosion, and structural weakening. Visible damage on the walls, columns, and beams caused by environmental exposure. Close-up view of the interior showing heavy efflorescence, spalling, and significant structural degradation. The facility, positioned close to Lake Huron, faces harsh environmental conditions such as frequent lake storms that bring excessive moisture and extreme cold temperatures. Additionally, the high-salt production environment accelerates chloride ion migration, leading to swelling and popping of reinforcing steel bars, ultimately causing concrete spalling. This image captures the application of CarbonSeal carbon fiber on beams and slabs, with the topcoat yet to be applied. The completed CarbonSeal system installation with topcoat applied to beams, slabs, and walls. HJ3 designed a cutting-edge composite fiber solution to restore the lost tensile strength and shear reinforcement in critical areas such as the external walls, specific columns, and internal supports. Using CarbonSeal™ technology, the repair work successfully strengthened 9,800 square feet of surface area, utilizing over 20,000 square feet of carbon fiber. This comprehensive restoration not only revitalized the facility but also extended its service life by up to 30 years.

Concrete and Steel Repairs at Salt Mining Facility
Metalized Thermal Laminating Film is a high-quality lamination material that fuses the strength and reliability of PET film with a brilliant, reflective metalized finish. This film not only provides outstanding surface protection but also significantly boosts the visual appeal of printed materials. Designed to create a glossy, eye-catching effect, the film is widely used in premium packaging, labels, promotional items, and luxury goods. Its reflective metallic surface—often in silver or gold—gives products a high-end, professional look that attracts consumer attention. Ideal for industries such as cosmetics, food packaging, and electronics, the film enhances both durability and brand image. Supplied in roll format, it supports high-speed, large-scale lamination with ease, making it highly efficient in industrial production. When applied using a film laminator, it ensures a smooth, bubble-free, and long-lasting finish. Whether for visual enhancement or added protection, PET Metalized Thermal Laminating Film is a top-tier solution.
