Mining and processing sites represent some of the most punishing environments for concrete infrastructure. With constant exposure to hypersaline water, extreme mechanical loads, chemical attack, and round-the-clock equipment use, these environments demand a treatment that goes beyond standard curing or sealing.
HARDROX by Integra is designed specifically to fortify concrete in these high-wear zones—ensuring structural reliability, extended lifespan, and reduced maintenance.
Heavy industrial environments such as mine sites face a unique set of concrete performance issues:
Ultra-High Traffic Loads: Haul roads and loading zones endure continuous impact from massive trucks and heavy plant.
Chemical & Saline Exposure: Hypersaline groundwater and tailings can rapidly degrade concrete and corrode steel reinforcements.
Surface Dusting & Abrasion: Concrete surface breakdown causes safety issues, instrumentation contamination, and long-term slab failure.
Frequent Repairs & Downtime: Maintenance in critical production areas delays operations and inflates costs.
Compliance Risk: Environmental leakage or structural degradation can breach site regulations and safety standards.
Standard membranes and surface coatings simply do not last in these conditions
HARDROX is engineered specifically for the mining and processing industry to enhance slab performance in high-impact, high-risk environments.
Abrasion Resistance: Forms an ultra-dense, wear-resistant surface ideal for haul roads, laydowns, wash bays and processing areas.
Corrosion Protection: Seals pores to block hypersaline water and chemical ingress, reducing reinforcement corrosion.
Dust Suppression: Prevents surface breakdown and dusting, improving air quality and reducing fine particle contamination.
Reduced Permeability: Limits moisture and salt ingress, a major contributor to long-term concrete failure.
One-Time Treatment: Permanently enhances concrete performance without requiring reapplication or surface coatings.
Applicable to new pours or retroactive treatments, HARDROX can be used on exposed slabs, bunded areas, containment zones, and more
By applying HARDROX, mining operations achieve:
Extended Concrete Lifespan – withstands years of exposure to salt, water, and machinery without structural degradation
Significantly Lower Maintenance Costs – eliminates frequent patching, recoating, or shutdowns for repairs
Improved Safety & Reliability – reduces risk of slab failures, spalling, and chemical seepage
Environmental Compliance – protects against leaks and contaminants entering ground or water systems
Operational Continuity – ensures that haul roads, slabs, and infrastructure are always ready for work, not waiting for repairs
Whether it’s processing plants, haul roads, maintenance pads or bunded containment, HARDROX is the insurance policy your concrete needs in the world’s harshest operational environments.
