Corrosion Mitigation

Protecting Structures. Controlling Corrosion. Extending Service Life.

Corrosion Mitigation involves the identification, treatment, and prevention of corrosion-related deterioration in reinforced concrete and steel structures. Effective corrosion management helps control material degradation, protect structural components, and improve the long-term durability and performance of buildings and infrastructure. Corrosion can develop due to moisture penetration, chloride exposure, carbonation, chemical attack, inadequate protection, or prolonged environmental exposure. Our approach combines condition assessment, corrosion investigation, repair, protective treatments, and preventive measures to address existing deterioration and reduce the risk of further damage.

TECHNIQUES

Corrosion Assessment

Identifying the Cause.
Understanding the Extent.

A detailed assessment is an important first step in developing an effective corrosion mitigation strategy. The investigation focuses on identifying affected areas, evaluating the condition of reinforcement or steel components, and understanding the environmental factors contributing to corrosion. Where required, appropriate testing and diagnostic techniques are used to evaluate the extent of deterioration and support engineering decisions. Effective corrosion mitigation requires a combination of proper diagnosis, suitable repair materials, environmental protection, and ongoing maintenance. By addressing both the existing deterioration and the conditions responsible for corrosion, structural components can be better protected against continued degradation and premature loss of performance.

Preventing Further Deterioration

Corrosion control is not limited to repairing existing damage. Long-term mitigation requires addressing the conditions that allow corrosion to develop and progress. Depending on the structure and exposure conditions, mitigation strategies may include improving moisture protection, applying protective coatings, controlling chloride ingress, repairing cracks, and providing suitable corrosion protection systems. Each corrosion-related project requires an approach based on the type of structure, exposure conditions, extent of deterioration, and expected service life. The structure is visually inspected to identify corrosion indicators such as cracking, staining, spalling, exposed reinforcement, rusting, and surface deterioration. Further investigation and testing are undertaken where necessary to determine the extent and severity of corrosion and identify contributing factors.
