I have a change of use on the go and need to fill a grip in some concrete. Its approx 2 " deep at one side feathering away to nothing at the other side about 45 ft long, so not a huge volume.
The area is going to become a wet tipping area for grain so will need to be hard wearing and resistant to grain bucket cutting edge and heavy traffic. A local builder suggested self levelling compound ?
Any thoughts, it needs to be filled as grain bucket will be travelling at 90 degrees and will be far too agresive.
Thanks S

We did something similar in our yard, power wash out, pva the existing concrete, strong mix with grit sand and plasticiser and floated off. Most of it has come out now but that's ten years on. If love to do it properly as above but we're concentrating on the bits that aren't concrete before we redo the bits that are.
 
I've levelled some stable floors before that had been laid by a blind man riding a pig.

Used a screed of silver sand and cement at about 4-1 I think with added SBR bond, painted the SBR onto the floor beforehand too.

It hasn't moved but only has horses on it....

I'm on site at moment we're soon concrete has been poored it gets chemical on it but that's to achieve a stone finish on it,

Hello Everyone,

I need some good references that discuss repair and rehabilitation for different
concrete repairs Brisbane structural elements like slabs, beams, and columns and elaborate on tests that are required to examine the structure and apply their output through examples and calculations to maintain the structural integrity and serviceability.

Thanks
