The Real Cost of Unprotected Buildings & Structures
Water and chloride ingress is the single biggest cause of building and structural degradation. In concrete structures, moisture migrating through cracks reaches the steel reinforcement - triggering corrosion that pushes surrounding concrete away, causing spalling, delamination and ultimately catastrophic structural failure if left untreated.
Steel structures face the same threat. In urban environments with moderate humidity, unprotected steel can lose 25-50µm of section per year. In coastal or heavy industrial environments subject to high humidity, salinity or aggressive atmospheres, that figure rises to 80-200µm annually. Given that most steel structures are relied upon for strength and load bearing, the implications of unmanaged corrosion are severe.
Early intervention always costs less than emergency repair or reconstruction. The question is never whether to protect - it's when.
Specialist Consulting & Specification
Every successful building or structural repair and protection programme begins with correct specification. Corrotec provides independent specialist consulting to help asset owners, facilities managers and specifiers identify the right solution for their specific structure, environment and budget - before any work begins.
Our tailored remediation programmes draw on best practice methodologies, the latest materials technology and strong relationships with specialist manufacturers and approved contractors - ensuring a trouble-free, no-nonsense delivery from assessment through to completion.
Applications include:
- Structural condition assessment and specification
- Material selection for specific environments
- Remediation programme planning and budgeting
- CAPEX and maintenance cost schedulling
- Liaison with specifiers, manufacturers and contractors
Condition Surveys
A detailed condition survey is one of the most valuable investments an asset owner can make. Identifying deterioration and degradation issues before they become structural failures or health and safety incidents - and providing the data needed for accurate CAPEX planning and maintenance budgeting.
Corrotec condition surveys deliver a comprehensive assessment report including identified causes, detailed recommendations and budget cost schedules for all recommended remedial works - giving asset owners complete clarity on the current condition of their structure and the most cost effective path to long term protection.
Cathodic Protection
Cathodic protection is one of the most effective long-term solutions for controlling corrosion in reinforced concrete and steel structures - addressing the root cause of degradation rather than simply treating the symptoms.
CP systems can be applied using sacrificial galvanic anodes, impressed current systems or hybrid combinations - with the correct design selected based on the specific structure, environment and corrosion risk. When correctly specified and installed, CP systems significantly reduce the ongoing maintenance liability and extend structural service life by decades.
Applications include:
- Reinforced steel corrosion control in concrete structures
- Car park decks and ramps
- Marine and coastal structures
- Bridges and civil infrastructure
- Industrial and commercial buildings
Concrete Repair & Structural Remediation
Reinforced concrete structures are highly durable when correctly designed and maintained - but aggressive service environments, chloride ingress, carbonation and freeze-thaw cycling can all compromise structural integrity over time, leading to cracking, spalling and reinforcement corrosion.
Corrotec provides fit-for-purpose concrete repair solutions using the latest specified products from reputable manufacturers - addressing root causes rather than surface symptoms, and installed by approved specialist contractors for a complete, guaranteed remedial repair.
Application include:
- Spalling and delamination repair
- Crack injection and sealing
- Reinforcement corrosion treatment
- Structural concrete reinstatement
- Car park deck and soffit repairs
- Bridge and infrastructure remediation
Carbon Fibre Structural Strengthening
Where existing structures require additional load capacity - whether due to changed use, increased loading, design deficiencies or compliance with current standards - carbon fibre strengthening provides a lightweight, minimally invasive and highly cost-effective solution that avoids the disruption and expense of reconstruction.
Carbon fibre wrapping systems can be applied to reinforced concrete, masonry, steel and timber structures - conforming to complex geometries including columns, beams, walls, soffits, tanks and pipework. With the rapid growth in EV charging infrastructure, carbon fibre strengthening has become the preferred solution for upgrading existing car park structures to accommodate increase vehicle loads.
Applications include:
- Car park structures - EV load capacity upgrading.
- Columns, beams and soffits
- Bridge and infrastructure strengthening
- Compliance with current structural standards
- Correction of construction or design defects
- Tanks, piping and containment structures
Expansion Joint Replacement & Sealing
Expansion joints are critical to integrity of any formed concrete or steel structure - accommodating the natural movement between building materials that expand and contract at different rates. When joint sealants fail, the consequences can be severe: water and chemical ingress, structural damage and in chemical containment applications, serious environmental risk.
Corrotec provides specialist advice and arranges full replacement solutions for all joint sealant types - correctly specified for the environment, movement requirements and duty of each specific application.
Applications include:
- Concrete and steel structure movement joints
- Car park expansion joints
- Chemical bund and containment joint sealing
- Facade and cladding joint sealing
- Infrastructure and bridge movement joints
Liquid Waterproofing Membranes
Water ingress is the primary driver of building and structural deterioration - and reliable, long-term waterproofing is one of the most effective investments an asset owner can make. The latest reinforced liquid membrane systems provide seamless, fully bonded waterproffing protection that eliminates the joint and lap vulnerabilities of sheet systems.
Corrotec specifies and arranges application of the latest liquid membrane waterproofing technology - providing colourful, seamless, guaranteed waterproofing finishes for roofs, decks, balconies, car parks, tanks and below - ground structures.
Applications include:
- Flat and pitched roof waterproofing
- Car park decks and ramps
- Balconies and terraces
- Below-ground and basement waterproofing
- Tanks, bunds and containment areas
- Bridge decks and infrastructure
Power Washing & Surface Decontamination
Dirt, grime, hydrocarbon contamination, algae and biological growth not only detract from the appearance of buildings and structures - they can accelerate surface degradation, promote bacterial growth and create slip hazards. Professional power washing removes these contaminants safely and effectively, restoring surfaces to their original condition.
Corrotec advises on the correct decontamination approach for each surface type and can recommend appropriate post-wash treatment and protective systems to slow future contamination and protect the substrate long-term.
Applications include:
- Building facades and cladding
- Car park and paved surfaces
- Stone, granite, cobbles and block paving
- Roof tiles and structures
- Timber, UPVC and conservatory structures
- Industrial floor and yard surfaces
Anti-Slip Surfacing & Safety Signage Systems
Slips, trips and falls remain one of the most common causes of workplace and public liability injury claims. The latest thermoplastic anti-slip technology provides a permanent, durable and highly visible solution that addresses both the grip requirement and the signage obligation in a single integrated system.
Unlike painted or adhesive systems that wear away over time, thermoplastic anti-slip surfacing is integrated into the surface - ensuring that safety messages, warnings and directional information remain legible and effective for the entire lifetime of the system.
Key features:
Available in 20 standard colours - Integrated permanent messaging - Corporate branding capability - Demarcation & directional signage - Pedestrian & vehicular grade
Applications include:
- Steps, ramps and walkways
- Car parks and loading bays
- EV charging areas
- Fire escapes and emergency routes
- Schools, hospitals and public buildings
- Industrial floor demarcation and safety zones
Corporate Non-Slip
Instructional Non-Slip
Loading Bays & Ramps
