CONCRETE + OTHER RESTORATION

Concrete Repair is a critical element of structural stabilization, restoration and strengthening projects. Over time, the repair of concrete structures becomes a necessity as deterioration and cracking of concrete elements affects structures and, failure to repair the damages, can result in more costly restoration work.

Two of the primary factors in concrete deterioration are air and moisture, which result in the carbonation of the concrete. Colder climates like ours, require the frequent use of salt, which as we know is sodium chloride. Both carbonation and the presence of chlorides help destroying the natural alkalinity of concrete, which results in corrosion and subsequent expansion of the embedded salt, causing cracking.
