Help & Advice: Technical Mortars

Our technical mortars are subject to extensive laboratory testing to ensure they meet – and in many cases exceed – required standards. Understanding how to specify and apply the right products is imperative for any project, so we've created a series of guides and product selectors to guide you through the process.

Installing precast kerbs or drainage units

Precast kerbs can be glued together with a special structural adhesive available from Weber. Ultra quick bedding mortars can also be mixed and applied to minimise traffic disruption

Installing stone setts, paving and block paviours

When reinstating or installing hard landscaping materials in busy pedestrianised shopping areas, a number of problems are caused due to the long setting times of conventional mortars

Defective concrete pavements

Concrete pavements deteriorate over time due to exposure to severe weather conditions and excessive traffic loading of the concrete

Grouting crane rails

The mechanics of rail behaviour under load from cranes and trains needs to be understood and Weber have provided solutions in this field for over 30 years

Strengthening walls

Reinforced concrete and masonry walls need to be strengthened against undue wind loads, deflections, additional loads, shear cracks and extraordinary loads due to explosion or impact

Wrapping concrete columns using Weber structural strengthening products

Under-strength columns

Column wrapping is a technique perfected by Weber using a variety of specialist unidirectional or woven fibre sheets bonded with a strong epoxy glue

Cathodic protection

Impressed current cathodic protection can control corrosion, counteract the incipient anode effect, and can reduce the amount of concrete removal

Spray concrete repair in marine location

Increasing resistivity

The resistivity of reinforced concrete may be increased by the application of various solutions from Weber

Preserving or restoring passivity

The corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete can be minimised by replacing concrete cover with high quality repair mortars and concretes from Weber

Grouting bridge bearings

Weber has a range of products suitable for pumping under bearings or for pouring or for gluing elastomeric pads

Under-strength floor slabs

webertec force composite strengthening system can be designed and used to provide extra load capacity when an existing building is undergoing a change of use

Ironwork reinstatement

Road ironwork such as manhole covers, road gullies and duct covers need to be bedded with a resilient mortar to prevent the unit rocking or breaking up under traffic loading

Spray concrete repair using webercem dry spray concrete products

Increasing physical resistance

Specialist methods of reinstatement and special products are available from Weber to enhance the durability of buildings and structures

Structural strengthening

Several structural strengthening products from Weber can be used to enhance the load carrying capacity of concrete structures

Applying webercote EC anti-carbonation coating

Moisture control

Keeping concrete dry is one way of reducing damage to concrete and this can be achieved by using one of Weber's coatings or sealers

Damaged street furniture

Quick drying post setting compounds as well as rapid setting anchoring grouts are available from Weber when timely intervention and repair are of paramount importance
