In civil engineering, periodic maintenance is crucial, both for the lifespan of infrastructure and the mobility of businesses and citizens. Due to the ongoing personnel shortages in the construction industry, speed and efficiency of work are essential. When selecting civil engineering products, quick processing and curing are important factors to consider.
Discover sustainable and future-proof solutions for the civil engineering sector that:
… can save an entire work cycle quickly;
… prevent long-term traffic disruptions and detours;
… significantly extend the lifespan of infrastructure.
HIM distinguishes three types of solutions for the civil engineering sector:
A protective layer creates a safe surface for (motorized) traffic and pedestrians and serves directly as a preservation layer for the underlying surface. HIM’s protective layers are applicable on steel, concrete, wooden, and plastic surfaces.
| Suitable Applications (a.o) | Benefits/properties | Suitable products |
| Bridges | High load capacity | Himgrip NT (BRL K19143-certified protective layers) |
| Parking decks | Anti-slip properties | Himgrip Fast (protective layers for urgent repairs) |
| Drilling platforms | High chemical resistance | |
| Landing piers | Lightweight | |
| Ramps |
Concrete floors do not necessarily need to be heavily used or worn to show signs of wear or other irregularities. Even freshly poured floors often have small holes, cracks, or fissures. HIM’s concrete repair products are ideal for quickly and expertly fixing irregularities that cannot be covered by coatings.
| Suitable Applications (a.o) | Benefits/properties | Suitable products |
| Filling irregularities | Very solid anchoring | Concrete coatings (thin-layer, high solid & 100% solid coatings) |
| Bonding concrete structures | Good outdoor durability | HIM Coving Mastic (thixotropic paste) |
| Underlaying machines, crane tracks, etc. | Possibility of creating slopes | HIM casting mortar (self-leveling mortar) |
| Making hollow skirting boards | Shrink-free hardening | |
| Fixing floor tiles | Very high compressive strength |
Infrastructure is typically exposed to weather, wind, and other influences every day. From acid rain to seawater and from moss and algae growth to graffiti; preserving these structures requires exceptional protection. HIM’s coatings provide this.
| Suitable Applications (a.o) | Benefits/properties | Suitable products |
| Viaducts, aqueducts, and bridges | Optimal resistance to graffiti and natural pollution | Coatings for waterworks |
| Oil tankers and pipelines | Resistant to large temperature fluctuations | Anti-graffiti coatings |
| Water coolers | High outdoor and indoor durability | |
| Traffic signs |
