This includes repairs where unconventional methods are used for the removal and/or the replacement of the concrete. This also includes where specialized materials are required to overcome time constraints, aggressive chemicals and other special circumstances.

Vector has the in-house expertise and equipment to offer innovative solutions, and completion in time and on budget of the most challenging concrete repairs ever attempted. The necessity of these innovative solutions is driven by time and access constrains, many of our projects are completed during short plant shutdowns when there is no time for the use of conventional repair methods or materials.

Some of the repair techniques that are considered unconventional may include hydro demolition, surface preparation using high pressure water blasting, concrete pours with pre-placed aggregate, tremie concrete, work with cofferdams, overhead pumping of concrete into suspended forms, and the use of a wide variety of fast setting or other special performance repair materials.
