Are you looking for a solution to reinstate concrete cover that avoids extensive and costly repair work? We can help with that!
Low cover concrete repair coatings offer a more practical and cost-effective means of reinstating concrete cover.
Mark Lemon, Managing Director of CSC Services, explains:
“The depth and quality of concrete cover on bridges and other concrete structures is vital to protect encased reinforced steel. Lack of protection to the re-bars can lead to corrosion, and ultimately have a fatal effect on the structure. When low cover is identified, remedial measures will often include drastic and costly measures.
A 2mm coating of a high performance cementitious coating can provide the equivalent to 100mm of good quality concrete cover, and provides a complete barrier to water under 10 bar pressure.
Additional protection against freeze/thaw cycles, de-icing salts, water and chloride ion penetration is also provided, ensuring that the lifespan of the structure is both achieved and extended.”
A range of different coating products are available depending on substrate compatibility, lifespan and the film thickness required to provide the necessary cover.
CSC Services work with a range of manufacturers to be able to specify the best products for clients. All of CSC Services’ operatives undertake regular training on the repair and protection of reinforced concrete structures in accordance with BS EN 1504, which is approved by the Institute of Concrete Technology. CSC Services are also members of the Concrete Repair Association.
