Since the late 1970’s the technology behind concrete has become greatly understood and at Specialised Contracting Services Ltd we can offer our expertise and experience in carrying out works both structural and cosmetic.
We are able to use modern day techniques which include repairing with polymer modified repair mortars and concretes, sprayed concrete and also traditional techniques which include the use of traditional hand batched mixes with materials sourced from local areas to match existing.
Reinforced concrete is one of the most well established and durable of building materials but it can deteriorate from a number of external elements. We have developed our concrete repair services to address concrete cracking and spalling in order to improve the life expectancy of structures.
Where concrete cracking is evident, other than impact damage the concrete repairs will usually include the repair and protection of steel reinforcement which can corrode for a number of reasons, most commonly chloride attack, or carbonation.
With the ability to undertake a full range of testing to correctly diagnose the cause and extent of the concrete failure we can offer a number of structural concrete repair solutions to include the use of, lightweight concrete repair mortars, high strength repair mortars, rapid strength concretes, epoxy mortars and low and high viscosity epoxy resins for the injection of cracks.
Not only can we repair most elements of a structure but we can enhance the appearance and performance by the use of specialist coatings such as anti carbonation or elastomeric, waterproof and flexible coatings, non-slip products and silanes. Specific products are chosen or combined to not only overcome the initial failures but to also increase the expected life span and to enhance the structures appearance.
