The reasons for the deterioration of concrete structures can be numerous, and could include carbonation, chloride attack, structural defects, poor design and poor workmanship etc. Therefore, to determine the most cost-effective remediation methods it is often prudent to carry out some initial survey work that may include visual survey, hammer test, cover meter survey, carbonation depth testing and laboratory sample testing to determine the presence of chloride and sulphates.
CTL have historically undertaken a wide range of contracts covering all aspects of remedial requirements identified by our survey work. The range of methods used includes, surface preparation, grit blasting, hyrdo-demolition, hand placed repairs, sprayed concrete (gunite), large flowable repairs, corrosion protection (cathodic systems), fairing coats and the application of high quality anti-carbination protection coatings.
