For all of its seeming permanence, reinforced concrete comes under attack from natural and man-made forces from the time it is first formed and poured. Since concrete repair problems are extremely diverse in nature, developing effective repair strategies requires a fundamental understanding of what causes the undesirable behavior in the first place. Structural Preservation Systems’ (SPS) repair strategy addresses both the cause and the effect of structural decay. Our experience in concrete repair of all types means that there are no surprises—we have a clear appreciation of what can be expected during all phases of construction—including appearance, protection needs and load carrying requirements. The end result is a long-lasting repair everyone can be proud of.
A variety of factors can influence concrete behavior, including design, materials, construction, maintenance, service loads and environmental conditions. SPS’ waterproofing and protection techniques help control deterioration. These tech-niques improve service or exposure conditions, enhance physical properties, provide barriers, modify electrochemical behavior or halt water intrusion. In addition, SPS’ skilled technicians can remove and replace defective, damaged or deteriorated concrete; restore structural function; protect the surface or underlying concrete from aggressive environments; and recover any lost performance requirements.
SPS’ repair approach draws upon a variety of materials, complemented by an installation technique and strategy that best suits each individual structure.
