Concrete Concrete Repair Repair Procedure Procedure

Part 1 - Concrete Evaluation Part 2 - Concrete Repair Method Part 3 - Quality Control

Part Part 1 1 -- Concrete Concrete Evaluation Evaluation

Depends on complexity and size of the job

Before Repair Works
z (Open Up) Visual or RITS (Rapid Infrared Thermographic Survey) and delamination Survey (Hammer Tapping) zCovermeter Survey - in according with BS4408 Part 1 zCarbonation Depth Measurement PH of concrete 12.5 13.5 drop to 11 or below. Carbonation coefficient by application of Ficks Law

Part Part 1 1 -- Concrete Concrete Evaluation Evaluation

Before Repair Works
zElectrochemical Potential (Half Cell) -Measurement in accordance with ASTM C876-80

Part Part 1 1 -- Concrete Concrete Evaluation Evaluation

Before Repair Works
zConcrete Resistivity Measurement

zChloride Content Determination <0.06% by weight of concrete sample in accordance with BS 1881 Part124:1988 zCore Compression Strength Test 100 Diameter concrete core in accordance with CSI:1990 Section 15

Part Part 1 1 -- Concrete Concrete Evaluation Evaluation

After Repair Works (Q/C)

z RITS z Covermeter Survey z Rebound Hammer z Bond Test ( Direct pull-off) z Others Similar to the Before Repair Works (for comparison the result)
