The One Day Packer is a high-pressure steel injection packer engineered to be removed on the same day as the injection — eliminating the return visit normally required to grind off cured packer stubs.
What makes this possible is the double non-return valve built into the packer body. Standard injection packers can only be removed after the resin has fully cured, because pulling them out earlier would let unset resin flow back out of the hole. The One Day Packer’s twin valves close automatically the moment injection pressure drops, sealing the resin inside the structure while the packer is being withdrawn.
It is designed for pressure injection of wet and dry cracks in concrete, masonry, and brickwork, and is also approved for grouting liquids in horizontal sealing (DPC) work.
The name describes the single biggest practical advantage of this packer over a conventional drill packer:
| Step | Conventional Steel Packer | One Day Packer |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 — Injection | Drill, set packer, inject, leave packers in place | Drill, set packer, inject |
| Day 1 — End of work | Site must be left with packer heads protruding | Packers removed; holes patched immediately |
| Day 2 (or later) — Return visit | Grind off every cured packer head, patch holes | Not required |
| Cost / labour | Two-day mobilisation, second-visit grinding cost | One day, single visit |
| Finish | Ground-off stubs still visible | Clean patched holes, no visible packer trace |
For occupied buildings, retail premises, infrastructure that cannot be closed twice, or any repair where the visible finish matters, this turns a two-visit job into a single-visit one.
Mark the injection points along the crack or DPC bed course at the spacing specified by the resin manufacturer.
Drill 14 mm holes at the correct angle and depth for the application. Vacuum or blow out the drill dust.
Insert the packer into the hole.
Tighten the packer body with a spanner — the adhesive rubber sleeve expands and seals the packer in place. The double non-return valves are now armed.
Connect the injection gun or pump to the conical head nipple.
Inject the resin under pressure until the section is fully saturated (resin returning from the next packer along the line, or until the specified volume has been delivered).
Disconnect the gun. The instant pressure drops, the twin non-return valves close, locking the resin inside the substrate.
Loosen and withdraw the packer immediately. No waiting for the resin to cure.
Patch the empty drill hole with mortar, epoxy filler, or matching surface compound for a clean, invisible finish.
Move to the next packer and repeat. A full crack line can be completed and finished in a single working day.
