Concrete Repairs
The existing interior foundation wall required corrective concrete repairs to restore substrate integrity. Sound concrete is a prerequisite for any protective coating — coatings placed over unsound material fail at the bond line.
Project Case Study · Green Bay, Wisconsin
Municipal Salt Shed Concrete Coating
RSI restored and protected the interior foundation wall of a municipal salt shed in Green Bay, Wisconsin — pairing corrective concrete repairs with a 100% solids epoxy surfacer and coating system engineered to resist chloride brines, acids, and alkalines.

Context & Scope
Project Overview
A municipal salt shed foundation wall in Green Bay, Wisconsin — restored, protected, and engineered to resist the full chemical spectrum of a working salt storage environment.
RSI was contracted to restore and protect the interior foundation wall of a municipal salt shed in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Salt storage facilities present one of the most aggressive interior environments a concrete structure can face — constant exposure to chloride brines, moisture, and the acidic and alkaline byproducts of road salt accelerate concrete deterioration far beyond typical service conditions.
Before any protective system could be applied, the existing foundation wall required corrective concrete repairs to restore substrate integrity. Once the repairs were complete, RSI installed a 100% solids epoxy surfacer and protective coating system engineered to resist water, oil, brines, acids, and alkalines — the full chemical spectrum a working salt shed will encounter over its service life.
The completed system extends the service life of the structure and protects the municipality’s infrastructure investment from the conditions that would otherwise consume an unprotected concrete wall. The project was completed over a two-month window beginning in August 2025.
The RSI Approach
Scope of Work
A salt shed’s interior wall sees chloride brines, moisture, and acidic and alkaline byproducts every day of its service life. RSI’s scope addressed the substrate first, then sealed it under a chemical-resistant system built for that environment.
100% Solids Epoxy Surfacer
With repairs complete, RSI applied a 100% solids epoxy surfacer to level and prepare the wall for the topcoat. A surfacer creates the uniform, continuous substrate the chemical-resistant coating system needs to perform as specified.
Industrial Protective Coating
RSI finished the wall with a chemical-resistant protective coating engineered to resist water, oil, brines, acids, and alkalines — the full chemical spectrum a working salt shed will encounter over its service life.

Craftsmanship That Lasts
The Green Bay municipal salt shed is another example of the industrial concrete protection work RSI delivers for public and commercial properties across the Midwest — specification-driven craftsmanship that preserves the places and infrastructure that fuel the future.
Have a Facility That Needs Protection?
From municipal salt sheds in Green Bay to industrial facilities across Wisconsin and the Midwest, RSI specifies and installs chemical-resistant concrete repair and coating systems built to outlast the environments they protect. If your facility is showing the same warning signs, let’s talk.
