With such significant expenditure involved, it makes sense for those involved to consult only specialist and experienced contractors, to ensure that completed work satisfies new legislation for both potable and waste water treatment and stands the test of time.

One such established specialist main contractor, Concrete Repairs Limited (CRL), has been providing cost-effective refurbishment services to water and sewerage companies, throughout the UK, for more than 50 years. As a result, it is able to provide all the necessary expertise required to meet the water industry’s current programme. Its extensive services include condition surveys, concrete and masonry repair, composite strengthening and corrosion control techniques, reservoir cleaning, floor screeding and wall rendering, resin injection, joint sealing, the application of tank linings, waterproof and non slip walkway membranes.

As an approved applicator for a broad range of materials and systems that are D.W.I. and W.R.C. approved, CRL is able to offer cost-effective solutions, using the latest refurbishment technologies and work practices consistent with best-value solutions. The company is employed by AMP4 contractors and water authorities and is able to ensure full compliance with the industry’s emphasis on hygiene and safety.

To explain the full scope of its services, the company has just introduced a new brochure entitled ‘Professional refurbishment of water industry structures’, which fully describes the company’s expertise in this sector.

CRL operates from four regional offices throughout the UK and has a skilled in-house workforce, managed by experienced professional Chartered Engineers. The company’s independent survey division (CRL Surveys) is able to undertake initial condition inspections and provide comprehensive reports identifying problems and providing repair recommendations.
