Condominium Concrete Corrosion

Is your Coastal building and your community protected from the devastating and costly effects of concrete corrosion?

Although living in a coastal setting is for many one of life’s greatest pleasures, it does come with some essential maintenance considerations. If these are not adequately addressed and managed on a consistent basis the resultant consequences can be not only be costly but a safety risk and, in some cases, even fatal.

As an asset owner, Hotel or even resident of a condominium, coastal apartment or office building you should be asking yourself at least one if not all of these questions:

Is our building safe?
What is being done to protect our health, safety, and investment?
Does our community have a plan for the repair and replacement of major structural components owned by the community?
Does our building need an inspection by a professional engineer to evaluate the structural integrity of the building?
Are critical components in the building such as structure, balconies, stairwells, etc., showing signs of corrosion?

Buildings located in close proximity to the beach or salt water are by their very nature at a high risk of corrosion. Salt in the atmosphere gradually permeates the concrete resulting in corrosion of the steel rebar and continual problems for owners/operators.

Marine Structure Corrosion

Extremities, such as balconies, parking garages, pools and catwalks, are most exposed to the elements, and are therefore more susceptible to aggressive corrosion. Often, traditional repairs are made to cover the signs of this corrosion, but these are in essence just placing a band aid on the problem. These conventional “patchwork repairs” mostly prove to be very costly in the and repetitive, whilst causing great inconvenience to residents with very little long-term resolve.

Statistically 70% of traditional concrete repairs deteriorate within 10 years. 90% deteriorate after 25 years. The traditional repair cycle can end up becoming a nightmare for owners with these repairs being needed more frequently over time. Especially if the root cause is not attended to. This inefficiency shows the failure to address the cause of the problem. Concrete Corrosion!
