Acid-retaining walls, drains, and channels
Acid attack eats into retaining walls, drains, and channels, thinning concrete and opening leak paths into the substrate and surrounding ground.
The need for acid-retaining walls, drains, and channels
BHI Coatings performs acid-retaining walls, drains, and channels across Alvin and the Texas Gulf Coast. Acid works into retaining walls, drains, and channels, thinning the concrete and exposing the aggregate underneath. Once that surface opens up, the stream tracks into the substrate and out into the ground around it. A breached bund or trench is how a contained spill becomes a soil and groundwater problem with reporting consequences attached.
How BHI Coatings does acid-retaining walls, drains, and channels
Our crew preps the concrete where it stands, repairs the spalled and eroded areas, then lines the wall, drain, or channel with a chemical-resistant system matched to the acid stream. Belzona 4000-series acid-resistant materials support the lining where the chemistry is aggressive. Everything is cold-cure, so there is no hot work and no slab break-out.
You end up with an intact containment structure that holds the acid stream. No demolition, no recast, and the area is back in service once the lining cures.

Process floors and containment areas take acid, alkali, and mechanical attack that strips ordinary toppings and lets product reach the substrate.
