Electrochemical Chloride Extraction, GCP, Concrete repairs

Electrochemical chloride extraction was applied to extend the service life of four culvert cells using MCM’s patented GreenTech Shield system along with concrete repairs and galvanic anodes.

 

Port Kembla, a key trade hub for agriculture, construction, and mining, relies on culverts supporting trains entering and exiting the port. Approved as NSW’s next container terminal, infrastructure investments ensure sustainable growth, efficient freight, and critical rail operations..
