Belzona Facts

Belzona was initially chosen because it was a long term solution that could be applied during the available 3 day factory shut down. The client was delighted with Belzona going the extra mile to complete the unscheduled works within the allowed time frame. The sump is still performing as expected preventing any further seeping into the water course.
