Concrete Repair Gold Coast

Gold Coast Concrete Services

BRS has many years of experience in structural and cosmetic Concrete Repairs, giving them the ability to refine the best suitable concrete method for each individual project.

Building Rectification Services will restore your concrete spalling and cracking issues before they get any worse or cause safety issues. Concrete cancer commonly occurs when embedded steel reinforcement corrodes. As corrosion products form and expand around the reinforcement, they place pressure on the surrounding concrete, which can lead to cracking, delamination and spalling. On the Gold Coast, exposure to marine chlorides can increase the risk of reinforcement corrosion. Structural building repairs on the Gold Coast are quite technical due to the corrosive salt environment. It is not a matter of simply covering the exposed reinforcement.

Basement car park repairs and Concrete Cancer Repairs on the Gold Coast are particularly difficult due to our salty, sandy environment. Many basement carparks mask underlying issues, and over time problems reoccur, but at a more advanced level. We offer local knowledge, quality workmanship, value for money, and expert customer service.

Our repair procedures are developed for the condition and requirements of each project. Applicable engineering specifications and Australian Standards are confirmed during project planning. Building Rectification Services is your trusted partner when it comes to commercial concrete repair on the Gold Coast.

Underlying problems in a concrete structure are not always obvious, however, cracking, honeycombing and spalling, are relatively easy to spot.

The real concern is the underlying cause of the problem, and these issues can include:

Inadequate waterproofing and protection of the concrete surfaces.
Incorrect concrete design.
Poor or inadequate steel design.
Incorrect concrete curing.
Cracking and deflection of the concrete structure.

The effects of concrete cancer according to Griffith University Architecture specialist

According to Griffith University Head of Architecture, Professor Gordon Holden, the effects of concrete cancer are particularly prevalent in older buildings due to inadequate building techniques often employed in the 1970s and 80s, resulting in an average lifespan of about 40 years.

What makes the concrete cancer epidemic even more alarming is that it as an internal issue, it is not always visible to the untrained eye. This is why it is imperative that building owners incorporate concrete cancer checks carried out by professionals into their annual maintenance reviews, in order to catch it early and avoid costly repairs, complete demolition, and hazardous living conditions caused by cracking and crumbling concrete.

Buildings near the Gold Coast coastline can experience significant exposure to airborne marine chlorides. Where chlorides penetrate the concrete and reach the reinforcement, they can contribute to corrosion and subsequent concrete deterioration.

Insufficient or deteriorated paint coatings. A good paint/waterproofing coating will slow the cancer process greatly.

Fractures (cracking) to the concrete allowing water and salt to penetrate the concrete and react with the steel.

Insufficient concrete cover over the reinforcement can increase its exposure to chlorides, moisture and carbonation. Required cover depends on the structure, exposure classification and applicable design standard, so each building should be assessed individually.

Incompatible metals being used in close proximity to each other, thus causing a corrosion reaction.
