Concrete rehabilitation is as important as any other maintenance activity and must be carried out in a timely manner.
Prompt repairs would save extremely expensive repairs that may become necessary at a later stage.
​
Deterioration of concrete can be broadly categorised into cracking, spalling and corrosion.
​
There are several causes for concrete deterioration. The main cause can either be carbonation or chloride induced corrosion of steel reinforcements or both.
