The CHIP is a low pressure, two component resin injection system for the structural repair of cracks, delaminations and other structural defects in concrete, brickwork, natural stone, wood or laminated wood constructions.
CHIP combines the use of the very sophisticated MODEL 4 Injection machine and the appropriate epoxy resins with the know-how of how and why to inject cracks and other voids.
The CHIP Training Program focusses on this Know-How and finally leads to a proper understanding of the ins and outs of low pressure, two component, structural crack injection. Also -if not specifically- those applicators who have an experience with high pressure systems will need to go through this training.
The Program
The CHIP Training Program normally takes 3 days, during which the following subjects are covered:
Day 1: (Theoretical session)
- Why inject cracks
- Different forms and causes of cracking
- Comparisons of various systems of injection
- Facts and Errors on pressure, pot life, flexibility, expansion and compression
- The CHIP Injection procedure, involving:
Surface preparation; Choice of sealing method; Choice and selection of injection points; Finishing
- The selection of the proper injection resin.
Day 2:
(Morning session: Theory)
- Introduction of the injection machine Model 4
- Detailed functioning of all control items.
- Detailed description of Testing and Cleaning functions
(Afternoon session: Practice)
- Demonstration of the CHIP in a Step-by-Step mode.
Day 3:
(Morning session: Practice)
- Hands-on training by all participants.
(Afternoon session: Theory)
- Marketing aspects: Various application examples
- Prospective clients
- Calculation and Pricing of injection work
- General discussion; Final questions
- Presentation to the participants of the CHIP Training Certificate
