SPS Repair

Services for Marine Facilities

Marine Terminals, Docks and Piers

Marine Terminal managers face difficult challenges in both the day-to-day operation as well as maintaining the structural integrity of their facilities. Many marine facilities have aged to the point that efficiency and environmental concerns dictate necessary facility repairs or improvements. Numerous factors can lead to concrete degradation within marine terminal facilities: corrosion of reinforcing steel, freeze-thaw deterioration, sulfate attack, overload, impact damage, or a multitude of other factors.

Structural Preservations Systems, Inc. provides marine terminal managers with industry leading knowledge and experience for structural repairs, strengthening and protection. Our understanding of the underlying causes of concrete deterioration and to devise true repair solutions, not just temporary fixes.

Whether the solution is simply surface repair, an extensive repair augmented with the latest cathodic protection technology or a turnkey effort, the goal is the same: to break the costly cycle of "fail, repair, and fail again." Instead SPS assembles repair systems that implement a long-term fix... or at least extend the service life repair as much as possible.
