BEFORE
This Support Beam had Major Spalding Damage and Structual Steel Damage as Well. The Cause of this damage is the Steel Reinforcement being to close to the surface of the concrete. This Caused the steel to expand and contract "rust" and eventually weaken the surrounding concrete. Water than entered the concrete and the damage was severe.
AFTER
The Exposed Reinforcing steel was repaired and a Corrosion-inhibiting coating was applied. The affected Spalding area was repaired with a corrosion inhibiting, fiber-reinforced, polymer-modified Concrete. This is a Engineered Concrete Compound that is also used to repair bridges,
tunnels, overpasses and roads.
