When manufactured to the correct specification, reinforced concrete is an extremely durable construction material. However, most of us will be aware of so-called ‘concrete cancer’ and other forms of damage to concrete. The most common causes of concrete damage arecaused by low concrete coverage of the reinforcement, carbonation of the concrete and high chloride levels. Buildings in exposed and coastal locations are particularly vulnerable.
McCoy Hill will clearly identify why the concrete has deteriorated before advising the correct specification for remedial repair. McCoy Hill provide Concrete Repair Systems which provides a systematic procedure for concrete repair. The system consists primarily of cementitious materials which are homogeneous with concrete (strength, modulus of elasticity, thermal movement).
The use of metal reinforcing in traditional modern buildings has been widespread throughout the UK. Generally, the material used is mild steel. Building Surveyors and Structural Engineers are well aware of the effects of corrosion within steel in construction, due primarily to it’s expansion.
McCoy Hill offer an extensive range of stress free masonry reinforcing products. Installation methods provide a cost effective, concealed and unobstructive solution, including:-
