A critical coastal utility structure was suffering from severe concrete spalling and reinforcement corrosion due to constant exposure to saltwater spray and tidal cycles. Reactive spot repairs had failed repeatedly, threatening operational continuity and safety.
The Arabian Co. Solution:
Our team executed a systematic, engineered repair program:
- Full Condition Mapping: Using non-destructive testing to identify all active corrosion zones.
- Cathodic Protection Integration: Installing a system to halt ongoing corrosion.
- Advanced Concrete Restoration: Removing all unsound concrete, treating exposed rebar with anti-corrosive primers, and rebuilding the profile using a specially formulated, dense, chloride-resistant polymer-modified mortar.
- Final Protection: Applying a penetrating hydrophobic sealer to create a long-term barrier against moisture ingress.
The Result:
The structure was restored to its original load-bearing capacity with a repair system designed for a 25+ year service life. The client avoided a multi-million dollar replacement, ensuring safety and uninterrupted service with minimal downtime.
This case exemplifies our core strengths: expert diagnosis, innovative material selection, and precision execution.
