CONCRETE REPAIRWe are able to carry out thorough investigation and testing of concrete structures to ascertain the cause and extent of defects and validate repair specifications prior to the implementation of remedial works. Typically this highlights problems such as concrete damaged by abrasion, mechanical loading, impact, poor compaction and reinforcement corrosion. Reinstatement of degraded and damaged concrete utilises site batched specialised mortars that are applied by hand, trowel, form and pour or sprayable applications. Where rapid strength gain, chemical resistance and temperature performance is critical resin based repair materials are generally used. A wide range of cementitious, co-polymer and resin based coatings can be used to protect repaired surfaces from future degradation and provide a unified finished appearance. The use of coatings and finishes can also be beneficial to proactively protect the substrate. This significantly extends life to first maintenance and reduces whole life costs, particularly in the case of water and wastewater treatment infrastructure and other environments where exposure to aggressive chemicals is widespread.
