Concrete Repair & Corrosion Protection
Concrete structures degrade over time due to environmental exposure and wear. Dale Structural Repairs specialise in concrete repairs, reinstating structural integrity and preventing further damage.
Comprehensive Condition Assessment
Modern concrete structures have not proved to be as durable as was once anticipated, attracting maintenance issues that ensure they are capable of achieving their design life. Many concrete buildings are increasingly showing signs of distress, requiring urgent remedial attention. DSR can provide a full evaluation of the current condition of any concrete structure by establishing:
Chloride Ion Content & Profiling
Percentage Cement Content Determination
Half Cell Potential Mapping
Carbonation Testing
Schmidt Hammer Testing
Investigative Breakout Of Reinforcement
Concrete Repair
We provide expert concrete repair solutions, addressing spalling, cracks, and structural deterioration to restore strength and durability. Our concrete repair techniques include resin injections, structural grouting, and cathodic protection. We restore damaged concrete elements efficiently, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Reinstatement of Cover
The depth of concrete covering reinforcement on structures is set by design standards and codes of practice. This is 60 years for normal structures and 120 years for bridges and tunnels.
It is common to find modern, well designed buildings a structures that have started to suffer deterioration due to poor workmanship during the construction process. Inadequate securing of formwork or reinforcement can result in low cover and if not identified and corrected immediately failure will be guaranteed.
Concrete Restoration
Due to an ever growing awareness in the UK of the importance of preserving our heritage an increasing number of reinforced concrete structures have been granted with listed status from English Heritage.
The heritage sector follows strict guidelines and can stipulate the type of materials permitted and often the options of repairs can be very limited. DSR can supply similar performing materials that match the appearance of the structure in terms of colour, texture and finish.
Corrosion Protection
We implement advanced corrosion protection systems to safeguard steel reinforcements within concrete, extending the service life of structures. Our services include galvanic anodes, protective coatings, and reinforcement treatments to prevent further corrosion, preserving the structural integrity of reinforced concrete.
Anti-Carbonation Protection
Our anti-carbonation coatings protect concrete from atmospheric pollutants, reducing degradation and extending structural lifespan. We apply breathable coatings that prevent CO2 ingress while allowing moisture vapour transmission, ensuring long-term protection against environmental damage.
