Definition of Concrete Repairs

Old and new ventures require amid or individually after the development stage items to fix the structure. This can be either for basic restorative works (surface breaks, filling of honeycombs, and so forth.) or for basic fix attempts to re-fortify the support and cement. The full scope of solid fix items incorporates de-passivation groundworks, various types of epoxy-based putties, shrinkage repaid just as polymer adjusted and high quality cementitious mortars.

Concrete repair strategies

Proper maintenance of a concrete structure is essential in order to guarantee the designed lifetime, since there can be many causes of concrete deterioration. Therefore, concrete repair is a specialist activity requiring fully trained and competent personnel at all stages of the process. Unsatisfactory understanding and diagnosis of concrete deterioration, incorrect repair specifications and choice of repair products/techniques, and short-term "patch and paint" strategies, have inevitably led to dissatisfaction from structure owners.

A large-scale independent and anonymous research project clearly showed this level of dissatisfaction.
