DRIZORO PRODUCTS BREATHE NEW LIFE INTO HERITAGE SILOS
Concrete Silo Repairs
Due to extensive concrete cancer, concrete silo repairs were necessary. The Developers specified Drizoro Maxrest and Maxseal products to restore a series of heritage-listed silos. These silos redevelopment design and refurbishment were in the inner-city suburb of Newtown.
Several heritage-listed silos in Sydney’s fashionable inner-city Newtown area have been transformed into 63 stylish apartments.
However, it was discovered that the silos were suffering from spalling concrete and moisture penetration.
Construction works were undertaken, and the construction team were required to repair the concrete. Once repairs were complete the exterior surface of the silos was waterproofed. That product both sealed the surface and restore the original look of the concrete structure.
The project team at Scientific Waterproofing Products were able to recommend several Drizoro products to use. First, Drizoro Maxrest was used to repair the areas of spalling concrete and concrete cancer before Drizoro Maxseal Flex was applied to completely seal the surface of the silo. Drizoro Maxseal Flex Grey was used, as the grey colour would restore the original appearance of the silos.
Drizoro Products used to refurbish these silos
Maxrest is a quick setting, non-shrink and non-slump repair mortar specifically designed for concrete repairs.
Maxseal Flex is a cement-based, UV stable, flexible waterproofing coating for all masonry surfaces. Maxseal Flex is to waterproof against hydrostatic water pressure.

Architect Spends 45 Years Transforming An Old Cement Factory Into A Fairytale Home
Might have used a few Drizoro restoration mortars and cementitious waterproof membranes over the years
Now the once rundown cement works manufacturing plant building, in Catalonia, Spain is surrounded by vegetation, a modern and luxurious furnished interior and workspace.
See how the property went from an old industrial site to a luscious and liveable space.
