Application Situation
Misalgnment of matal approach plate to truck scales. 
Application Method
The application was carried out in accordance with Belzona Know-How System Leaflet GSS-9. After installation of the new metal plate, the edges of the mating faces were sealed with Belzona 1111 to prevent leaking of Belzona 5811 which was injected through previously drilled holes.
Belzona Facts
The only real alternative was to remove old concrete and build another construction. Customer did that first time, but it didn't solve the problem, because the alignment of mating faces was still inaccurate. The application was done in one shift, a day before weekend and national holiday and hence there was just one shift of downtime. Customer had some other offers but value for money was best with Belzona.
