Skim Coating the Honeycombing of Concrete Panels

At AMS Seal, we take pride in providing high-quality construction services that help ensure long-lasting, flawless finishes for our clients. Currently, we’re working on a key project at the Nick Scali SuperStore in Malaga, where we’ve been engaged by multiple large contractors to tackle a variety of critical tasks at different stages of the construction process.

One of the most important aspects of our work on-site at this impressive development involves patching and skim coating the honeycombing of concrete panels. While this might sound like a small detail, it’s a crucial step to ensure the project meets the Class 1 finish expected for this type of construction.

What is Honeycombing and Why is it a Concern?

Honeycombing is a common issue that can arise during the pouring process of concrete. It refers to air pockets or voids left in the surface of the concrete, often caused by improper vibration or insufficient compaction of the concrete mix. These air pockets result in a rough, uneven surface that doesn’t meet the aesthetic or structural standards required for high-quality builds like the Nick Scali SuperStore.

These defects can also weaken the structural integrity of the walls and leave them susceptible to future deterioration due to weathering and erosion. That’s where AMS Seal comes in. By expertly patching and skim coating the honeycombed areas, we not only improve the visual appeal of the panels but also provide long-term protection against the elements, preventing potential damage down the line.

The Importance of Quality Workmanship

Our work is far from just cosmetic. The patching materials we use are specifically designed to resist weather erosion and meet strict Australian building codes and standards. This ensures that the concrete panels we treat will maintain their strength and durability, effectively safeguarding the structure for years to come. It’s our commitment to quality that saves our clients from potentially costly and time-consuming logistical issues in the future.

In addition to the immediate benefits, this patching process is integral to delivering a seamless Class 1 finish. For a commercial project like the Nick Scali SuperStore, this kind of attention to detail is expected and essential. The clean, smooth surface we’re creating will ensure the building not only looks great but functions effectively as well, aligning with the high standards that have been set for this development.

A Long-Term Commitment to Quality

Our involvement in the Nick Scali SuperStore project extends beyond just patching and skim coating. AMS Seal has been brought in to remedy and complete several other aspects of the construction, ensuring the project remains on track and meets the required specifications. From start to finish, our team has been hard at work to ensure that every step of the process is handled with precision, care, and expertise.

It’s an exciting time for us as we watch the SuperStore take shape. With months of hard work and dedication, the project is progressing smoothly, and we can’t wait for the finished product to open its doors. The scale of this development is huge, and being part of the team bringing it to life is incredibly rewarding for everyone at AMS Seal.
