Concrete/Steel Reinforcing Repair and Protection
Concrete repair involves the removal and replacement of damaged or (spalled) concrete and corroded steel reinforcing. Generally, the deterioration of concrete is caused by corrosion to the steel reinforcement in the structure. This corrosion begins initially by cracking in the concrete or an increase in porosity which in turn allows the ingress of water, atmospheric carbon and or chemicals activate the corrosion process. This corrosion causes the reinforcement to expand forcing the concrete to crack and delaminate.
Building structures can also be complex and have many components requiring protection. Central Systems has the knowledge, experience and expertise to identify the most appropriate solutions in the field of corrosion, water ingress and façade protection.
Central Systems delivers concrete repair and protection services mainly to the commercial, industrial, public infrastructure and resource sectors. This involves commercial/industrial buildings, bridge structures, wharves, resource processing assets, swimming pools and generally any concrete structure.
Central Systems have extensive experience in the refurbishment of rendered concrete, block work, brick, stone and steel clad building facades. These works often involve the replacement of specialty renders that are failing as a result of exposure to the elements and or concrete and reinforcing deterioration beneath the façade. These repair solutions often also encompass repairs to external cladding, window seals, steel lintels and flashings.
Central Systems acknowledges that the application of membranes and surface coatings need to not only protect the structure from the elements but improve the aesthetic appeal of your property. By coating facades and other structures, we can completely transform the overall look at the same time as increasing the structural life and integrity of your building or structure.
