ABOUT SURTREAT
As a certified Women Business Enterprise (WBE), we strive to create, develop and sustain a global, inclusive culture, where differences drive innovative solutions to meet the needs of our customers to extend the service life of their structure.
Our concrete solutions offer a systemic approach utilizing chemistry to permanently inhibit corrosion in reinforced concrete elements and provide an alternative to less permanent costly concrete repair practices (or cycles). Our solutions react chemically with the cement phase of concrete to improve its properties. Surtreat’s concrete applications restore and improve concrete strength, reduce permeability, and inhibit corrosion of the embedded reinforcement. This reduces the need for removal and replacement methods ordinarily associated with concrete repair work.
