If the question means: "can new concrete or mortar be put on top of old concrete", for example to restore a reinforced concrete structure, the answer is NO.

You will have to use proprietary non shrinking cementitious mortars (say Emaco or similar), otherwise the patch will fall to the ground !

Yes you can! However first check the pH of the concrete to insure it is no higher than the number 9ph. If pH is between 7.5 and 9ph you are ready to repair. Apply a densifier to the concrete and resurface with a high performance repair material or overlay.

What is the difference between concrete mortar and cement paste?

Cement paste is formed when cement is mixed with water. However, cement mortar is formed when cement is mixed with fine aggregate (sand) and water.The strength of cement mortar is more when compared to cement paste.Shrinkage will be less in cement mortar and high in cement paste.


How do you you pump a balanced cement plug?

Balanced cement plug is pumped through drill string or open-ended tubing. 'Balanced Cement Plug' means that the top of cement outside the drillstring/ tubing will be the same height as the top of cement inside the drillstring at the end of pumping. The drillstring/ tubing is then slowly pulled from the wet cement, allowing the cement inside the string to fill the centre of the plug. There are lots of refinements in this method with open hole cement retainers or high viscosity 'cushions' often placed below cement. In vertical hole, most balanced plugs are successful. In extended reach wells, failure rates can be high with cement slumping and mixing with synthetic based muds. A typical checklist to improve cement plug success in extended reach wells would have: 1. Always use a tailpipe. This reduces the disruption to the plug caused by removal of the drillstring. 2. Clean up the hole thoroughly before pumping cement. Cement is an excellent hole cleaner. Many 'flash set' events reported are really packoffs caused by cement picking up a cuttings dune. 3. Put a diverter tool with BIG holes on the bottom of the tailpipe. This directs fluids up the hole during cementing 4. Use a scavenger spacer in front of the cement job to convert the formation from oil wet to water wet. 5. Slow down pumping to 1 BPM while displacing cement into open hole. This reduces mixing of cement and mud. 6. Put a cushion below the cement plug. A cement retainer is best. If a viscous cushion is spotted, weight the cushion to 1 ppg below the cement weight. 7. Gravity is NOT on your side. Cement can stay inside the tail pipe as you pull it from the plug. Pump the volume of cement inside the tailpipe as you pull the tailpipe from the plug. 8. Circulate clean the long way with the bottom of the tailpipe at the planned cement plug top.
