Steel elements / plates

A further rehabilitation action that CERS has rich experience is the addition of steel elements or plates. In these cases, the application is made either by welded or bolted steel sections and the additional use of epoxy resin in order for the surfaces (steel – concrete) to adjust firmly. In the case of welded sections, the low viscosity epoxy resin is applied by injecting in order to avoid burning of the resin.

This section also includes the use of steel plates as a radiation protection shield. The plates are of significant width each and placed with a very sophisticated method so as to avoid any radiation leakage according to the regulations of the Greek Atomic Energy Commission (GAEG).
