Murray Irrigation

NCS were engaged by the Asset Owner, Murray Irrigation to supply solutions and services for bridge and culvert remediation and service life extension. Due to corrosion caused by water penetration and previous failed attempts at resolving the issues, NCS were required to provide a solution that would deliver a minimum of 15 years of service life.

With the ongoing drought throughout Australia, time was of the essence. Murray Irrigation has over 3000km of irrigation channels, supplying water to over 700,000 hectares of farming land. In a small shutdown window of only 10 weeks, NCS successfully remediated 217 bridges. Render reinstatement, spalling, crack repairs and anti-carbonation coatings were all called upon to bring these Assets back to their original service life.

Through the use of a high build repair mortar and a waterproofing coating, NCS were able to achieve great results with samples taken at only 3 weeks showing great success. By being able to spray apply (gunite) the products, NCS saved valuable time and were able to remediate all 217 in 9.5 weeks.
