structural repairs
Concrete and steel are today’s primary choice in terms of building materials due to their strength and versatility. Whilst concrete is strong, over time and through exposure to the elements, age or structural damage due to heavy traffic, it is susceptible to deterioration. Of primary concern is concrete spalling (commonly known as concrete cancer) where due to chemical reactions with the steel in the slab, the concrete cracks and in some cases - such as the facade of a building, can fall off. This is not only ugly but identifies underlying problems in the concrete’s reinforcing structure. The problem does not rectify itself, and studies have shown that delayed or periodic maintenance costs significantly more than rectifying the problem first time.
Remedial Building Services have an established structural repair division which specializes in the maintenance and quality repair of building structures and their facades. Our field of expertise covers industrial and commercial properties and we also work closely with body corporate and strata managers in the rectification of residential properties. Where required we liaise with structural and facade engineers in areas such as concrete repair, brick replacement, bridge work repair and maintenance, carbon fibre stripping for increased strength, waterproofing solutions and heritage building maintenance and repair work.
For more information on the effects of spalling, or to arrange for a representative to come and see you, please contact us today.
