Restoration Consulting

Strength. Durability. Versatility. Reinforced concrete is used throughout the world in all types of structures. However reinforced concrete is vulnerable to corrosion, caused by the exposure of the reinforcing steel to chloride ions and carbonation. To stay strong, reinforced concrete must be protected from corrosion.

Concrete building exteriors and exposed parking structures are very prone to deterioration due to the stressful Canadian climate, with cyclical freezes and thaws and aggressive roadway salting. Durable designs and innovative options in moisture and corrosion protection systems help to preserve these valuable building assets, allowing owners to make informed decisions about their new design and restoration options, tailored to their individual project needs. Life cycle cost analysis can be used to develop a detailed maintenance plan, assisting property managers in budgeting for routine maintenance designed to avoid costly infrastructure damage.
