Hiring the Right Structural Concrete Contractor
Structural concrete repair is a
combination of understanding the cause and effect surrounding a deficiency,
recognizing the skills and installation methods needed for a proper repair, and
having the experience to select specific repair materials. Each repair stands
alone where “one size does not fit all”. To make a long lasting cost effective Concrete Pile
Repair System the first time, ICRI means and methods of construction,
an engineered design, and a qualified restoration repair contractor are the
three essential elements needed to ensure the expected outcome.
The PILECAP team has the
experience and industry knowledge to provide structural concrete repair.
Types of Structural Concrete
Restoration
The most common types of
structural concrete repair needs may include concrete spalls, cracks,
delamination, chemical degradation, poor construction techniques , aggressive
environmental exposure, and insufficient load capacity. Each repair method
must provide a monolithic, fully bonded structural outcome where the concrete
element achieves or exceeds the original design strength as required. It is
critical to hire a qualified concrete restoration contractor to repair each
concrete condition and deliver finished results which meet the engineer’s
design. These repairs will require specific knowledge and installation methods
about materials such as specialty repair mortars, epoxy resins, bonding agents,
integrated protective systems, and external structural strengthening in
different conditions and environments.
Structural Concrete Repair
Techniques
Various techniques are available
for repairing concrete structures. The selection of the appropriate technique
will depend on the cause of the initial damage (e.g. corrosion of the
reinforcement, chemical attack, fire) and whether the repair is to be fully
load-bearing or simply cosmetic. Techniques for arresting and preventing
further degradation include: Cathodic protection; Chloride extraction;
Re-alkalization; repair of cracks, spalls and preventive means using surface
sealers and or coatings.
