Motivation for Concrete Repairs

Why Repair a Structure?

• Make it Safe
• Restore Structural Integrity
• Extend the Service Life
• Change of Use
• Improve the Appearance

How do you fix it ?

Three Phases:

• Phase 1 – Diagnostic Survey
• Phase 2 – Formulate a remedial
  strategy utilising appropriate repair techniques
• Phase 3 - Implementation

Get it right first time…

• Diagnostic survey
  • You can not prescribe the medicine
    if you do not know what is making you sick!

Incorrect repair methods can
accelerate corrosion!

• Find:
  • The cause
  • The severity
  • The extent
  • The likely cost

Diagnostic Survey

• With the information gleaned from the diagnostic survey, the client can then:
  • Fully understand the severity and scale of the problem
  • Prescribe the appropriate repair strategy
  • Accurately budget for the works
