Concrete structures are often vulnerable to concrete spalling caused by corrosion of the steel reinforcement within the concrete. If left untreated it can have disastrous consequences, Coating Worx are experts in repairing and restoring damaged concrete.

Spalling occurs when corrosive elements such as water, salt or acid penetrates the concrete over time and causes corrosion of the internal steel reinforcing. Spalling is prevalent in concrete buildings in coastal areas due to salt and also in industrial areas due to the higher acidic content in rainfall.

As the steel reinforcing corrodes it expands and places increasing pressure on the surrounding concrete which leads to crumbling and cracking of the concrete. This results in a deterioration of the structural integrity of the concrete which if left untreated can result in catastrophic failure.

It is therefore imperative that concrete spalling is properly repaired by those with expertise in concrete spalling repair and treatment to ensure the structure remains structurally sound.
