Impact repair with Thor Helical
Repairing a brick pier with Thor Helical damaged by impact
Bunbury
Recently we were asked to repair a pier supporting two arches in Bunbury that been impacted by a vehicle.
When a brick pier is damaged or knocked out of position, traditional repair methods recommend demolishing the pier and constructing a replacement.
However using the Thor Helical crack repair system, our team was able to manoeuvre the original pier section (that was only lightly damaged in the impact) back into it's original position, stabilise it by installing crack stitching bars vertically up the pier across the split between dislodged section and the two original joins..
Cracks had also formed in the two arches during the impact and were also repaired with a 3 metre long bar inserted in the curves of the arch to repair them.
This method of repair was possible due to the exterior brickwork near the entry being rendered and texture coated following the installation of the bars.
