UFGS Concrete Life Extension | Extend Service Life & Prevent Corrosion

The Problem: Aging Concrete & Corrosion Risks in Military & Government Structures

Military and government infrastructure built to Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) must meet strict durability standards. However, chloride exposure, water infiltration, and environmental stress lead to corrosion, cracking, and premature deterioration. Without proactive treatment, these structures face costly maintenance and reduced service life.

The Solution: Surtreat’s UFGS-Compliant Concrete Protection System

Surtreat provides a comprehensive solution to extend the service life of UFGS-compliant structures by:

TPS XII: Vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor that migrates through concrete to protect embedded steel.
TPS II: Concrete densifier that strengthens the matrix and reduces permeability.
SurCoat: Cementitious repair system that seals cracks and prevents further deterioration.
Repel WB: Hydrophobic sealer that prevents moisture ingress and chloride intrusion.

Application Process: How to Protect UFGS-Compliant Concrete

Step 1: Surface Cleaning & Preparation
- Remove dirt, contaminants, and deteriorated concrete for full penetration of treatments.
- Use pressure washing or abrasive cleaning as needed.

Step 2: Apply TPS XII
- Apply TPS XII to concrete surfaces to protect embedded steel from corrosion.
- Migrates through the concrete, preventing chloride-induced deterioration.

Step 3: Apply TPS II
- Apply TPS II to strengthen concrete, reduce porosity, and improve durability.
- Enhances structural integrity while preventing future degradation.

Step 4: Repair Cracks with SurCoat
- Apply SurCoat to seal cracks and restore damaged concrete areas.
- Forms a durable, cement-like finish for enhanced protection.

Step 5: Apply Repel WB
- Final application of Repel WB creates a hydrophobic barrier against moisture.
- Prevents future chloride penetration and minimizes long-term maintenance.
