Abatron - was started in 1959, and specialized in the research, development, and custom formulation of epoxy and polyester compounds. Later, urethanes, acrylics, vinyls, silicones, copolymers and other compounds were added to the company's product offerings. Since its founding, Abatron has continued to meet and create specifications for industrial, electronic, marine, and architectural applications. As the core of Abatron activity has always been Research and Development, its products reflect the current standards and the advances about to become new standards in the industry. Continuous dialog with architects, engineers, restoration experts and specifiers has resulted in many government and private sources to specify Abatron's products for restoration of historic buildings and structures. Abatron products for electronics, industrial, and "hi-tech" applications keep pace with the continuous changes typical of those fields. Obviously, our survival and success has been greatly facilitated by the acceptance, cooperation and loyalty of our customers, advisers, specifiers and our co-workers. To them, goes our unqualified gratitude.Materials for Concrete Restoration and Maintenance: for permanent restoration of structural and decorative concrete, masonry and other rigid structures.

Users and dealers of this established concrete repair material keep finding new uses for it because the repairs, resurfacing and additions it allows are not only permanent, but surprisingly cheaper, stronger, more chemically resistant, much more versatile and easier to use than concrete. Complementary Products and Accessories for concrete and other surfaces. ABOWELD 55-1: a godsend to repair and rebuild stairs and other structures with vertical and difficult shapes. The 55-1 is the only system that can permanently rebuild the broken stair steps or broken corners where the riser and tread meet.

The 55-1 is stronger than concrete, bonds permanently, and is not affected by salt water and other chemicals that attack concrete.

Compass Contracting, Inc. -
Phone: (757) 827-5760 - Fax: (757) 827-5284 - Email: info@compasscontracting.com
Compass Contracting, Inc. was established in 1994 as a full service commercial and industrial, structural maintenance and waterproofing company. Collectively, our project management team has 60 years and our field supervision has 61 years experience in the building restoration and waterproofing trade. We are a local company based in Hampton, Virginia and provide service throughout Virginia and northeast North Carolina. We have performed work for most all of the local municipalities, as well as State and Federal Government installations. In addition, we have worked on many high profile commercial projects, museums, historic properties, hospitals and industrial facilities. As masonry structures age, several problems can develop. Among these problems are spalling of the brick faces, settlement cracks, efflorescence / staining, deteriorated or open mortar joints, loose bricks, moisture retention and severe weathering. Masonry block can also develop similar problems.Most masonry is porous in nature and absorbs moisture. Over time this can lead to problems depending on various factors; the rate of absorption, the wall’s ability to relieve itself of any moisture accumulation, and severe weather exposure just to name a few. It would be erroneous to assume that weather alone is the cause of problems in masonry wall construction. Therefore, it is important to determine the root cause of the deterioration. Factors such as defective gutters, leaking roofs and roof flashings, leaking seals at thru-wall penetrations, such as windows and louvers, can all cause problems in masonry construction. Problems, such as these, should be dealt with prior to beginning any masonry restoration. Failure to eliminate the source of the problem will only allow the masonry deterioration to continue and any repairs made would be a waste of time and money. Typical examples of repairs to correct problems in masonry wall construction would be: Tuckpointing - Random Brick Replacement Repair / Replacement of Window Heads & Sills - Installation of Weeps - Cleaning, Sealing & Coating - Installation of Expansion Joints - Rebuilding Dislodged or Severely Damaged Sections - Compass Contracting can provide our clients with initial inspection surveys, auxiliary repairs to other building elements such as roofs, flashings & gutters, as well as any needed masonry repairs. We have experience working on both historical and contemporary structures.

Elite CreteSystems history, experience and roots in the cementitious overlay industry is deeper than any other company or product line today. "Elite Crete" products were originally created as simply a "Product Brand" by specialty paint and coatings manufacturing compnay called Advan-Tech, who at the time only sold cementitious overlay materials to other companies under private label or re-label. Advan-Tech made the decision to create and launch their own product label line and called the brand of materials "Elite Crete" not to compete with the same companies they were already selling products to, but to go after a sector of the industry that they considered untouched by other companies, the specification segment. There just seemed to be a huge void as it pertained to architectural overlay products being specified by architects for commercial application. We have heard it said many times over, "Overlay products and sealers and stains are all the same." We not only bet to differ but challenge that comment as well. Compared to other decorative concrete material suppliers, our product line might be viewed as "limited." The reason being, our specialty is Overlays. Overlays for restoration such as broom finishes and regrading. Overlays for decorative finishes such as splatter textures, knockdowns, thin stamped overlays and slate trowel applications. Overlays for custom interior flooring such as MICRO-FINISH™ flooring and more. And of course we have a full line of supplemental products for coloring, staining, sealing, etc.

Matco Associates, Inc. - has extensive experience as corrosion consultants for reinforced concrete structures. When approaching the problem of a deteriorating reinforced concrete structure, it is necessary to visually observe and make measurements of the corrosion activity, geometry, concrete and steel materials, associated construction materials, etc., in addition to the state of corrosion which the structure has already suffered. After such observations and measurements, assessment of potential rehabilitation techniques and, as required, corrosion analysis, Matco can recommend measures and materials to consider which will help to mitigate further corrosion deterioration of the structure for its expected life using cathodic protection and/or coatings.
