There are many buildings that require concrete restoration due to the harsh weather conditions the outside of buildings are exposed to all year around. Concrete restoration can be carried out by placing a whole new layer of concrete onto the surface to be restored. Although concrete is a very hard wearing and resilient material it does need to have maintenance and restoration over the life of the building at regular intervals. Many buildings will require a survey by the concrete restoration company before any kind of work is carried out. There are many types of survey that a building could have a survey for, there is a dilapidation survey, diagnostic survey, safety inspections and structural assessments to name a few.
Also it may not be building as such that requires concrete restoration it could be something like a car park or other concrete structure. Concrete restoration is a specialist service that can save a lot of time and money if carried out in the correct manner. Concrete structures need protecting and preserving so that they can withstand wear and tear and weathering and make them last as long as possible. There are two types of concrete restoration these are structural restoration and non-structural restoration. Many of the restorations may only be minor repairs to small cracks in the concrete, but there could also be major restoration projects undertaken like strengthening an under designed component of the building or structure.
Cracks in concrete are restores by injecting a high or low viscosity epoxy resin in to actual crack, as it is injected under pressure this means that the resin will be able to reach the full length and depth of the crack, leaving a complete repair. To make sure that the repair is done properly there will be a need to identify the origin of the crack and what caused it to happen initially. Once the crack has been injected with the resin it makes the concrete a lot stronger than it was originally. These types of repairs and concrete restoration are usually provided on structures like bridges and storm drains.
