Belzona Facts
Local concrete repair services quoted the turnkey project excessively high. Maintenance staff with supervision were more than capable of carrying out the work. In the end, client saved taxpayer money, solved their own problem, on their own schedule and they now have the inhouse capability of seeing to their own concrete repairs and protective coating projects. The Belzona® 5811 was tested, by the city to their satisfaction with the two acids.
