For over 20 years, our Galvashield® DAS distributed anode systems have been used to protect severely deteriorated concrete structures by being embedded in concrete overlays, encasements and jackets. Now, this technology can be mounted onto the surface of a structure, providing owners another option to cost effectively extend the life of their structures.
Galvashield® SM-DAS anodes consist of a heat and UV-resistant PVC tray that contains a high purity zinc core surrounded by alkali-activating mortar. Once installed, the zinc anode corrodes to protect the nearby embedded reinforcing steel.
