Concrete Structure Defects
Like most materials, concrete naturally degrades over time due to various factors. To ensure sustainable repairs and extend the lifespan of the structure, it’s crucial to identify the root cause of any structural issues and apply the appropriate remediation techniques.
Concrete issues may stem from initial design or construction flaws, such as inadequate concrete cover thickness relative to environmental conditions, poorly placed or insufficient reinforcement bars, and other quality deficiencies.
Natural aging, often accelerated by fatigue stress.
Exposure to road salts, sea water, moisture, large temperature changes, industrial chemicals, etc.
These can lead to cracking of the concrete or plastic deformation of the steel reinforcement.
Fires, earthquakes, storms, impacts, etc.

2. Concrete Restoration Techniques
Trowel-Applied Concrete Repairs
Freyssinet’s Foreva® REP solution features Foreva® M110 or the fast-setting Foreva® M140 fiber cement repair mortar, with an option to use Foreva® MF 100 fine mortar for a smooth, durable finish.
-
Perfect bonding to existing concrete
-
Suitable for harsh conditions
-
Reduced down time
Dry Shotcrete
This technique is versatile, making it suitable for reinforcing all types of concrete structural elements. It supports a wide range of reprofiling work in line with industry standards and best practices, ensuring minimal disruption to the structure’s operation and its surrounding environment.
-
Full adhesion to substrate
-
Optimal compaction of concrete for better durability
-
Fast and flexible application
Crack Injection
-
Prevents moisture and chloride penetration
-
Restores structural integrity
-
Low viscosity material ensures maximum penetration and reach

3. Surface Protection Techniques
Protection Against Moisture Intrusion
Dealing with each project individually, we will assess, recommend, and implement the best technique to stop water from entering or exiting the structure using pressure-injected materials.
-
Industry proven materials
from leading suppliers -
No additional stresses created
for the structure -
Turnkey service
Hydrophobic Impregnation
The treatment involves hydrophobic impregnation, creating a water-repellent film on the concrete surface. Hydrophobic impregnation considerably reduces the capillary uptake of dissolved pollutants (salt water, sulphates, carbonic acid, etc.) into the concrete cover, and thus slows down or prevents their penetration. It can also be used to prevent damages due to freeze/thaw cycles.
Foreva® Fuge is specifically recommended for concrete surfaces that will not be painted or coated.
-
Retains breathability of concrete
-
Retains original appearance
Coatings
-
Variety of protective coatings
