Concrete renovation: Essential for preserving concrete structures
With 35 years of experience in concrete renovation, we are happy to help you with sustainable preservation of the built environment.
Concrete is a strong and durable building material, but it requires maintenance to maintain its strength. Various internal and external factors can affect concrete, leading to costly damage and structural problems.
With 35 years of experience in concrete rehabilitation, Gacon specializes in solving these problems and repairing concrete damage to extend the life of your structure.
What is concrete renovation?
By concrete renovation, we mean the radical repair of a concrete structure that has deteriorated for various reasons. When concrete is affected, you should think of salt (chlorides) and moisture, for example.
Our certified specialists determine the cause of the concrete damage and ensure that the concrete is repaired. This is how we like to contribute to the sustainable preservation of the built environment. To ensure the longevity of your concrete structure, we recommend applying concrete protection to consider.
How does Gacon proceed?
Several methods are possible in concrete renovation. After a thorough analysis of the cause of the weakness in concrete structures, we may perform manual repairs. However, we more often use methods such as spray concrete, carbon reinforcement, cathodic protection, and injecting objects.
With spray concrete we apply concrete in layers to the surface to be repaired, ensuring optimum adhesion and compaction.
At carbon reinforcement thin carbon fibers are placed on the damaged object with epoxy glue.
Cathodic protection is a technique to prevent corrosion of rebar by applying an electric current to the concrete. Concrete injection is a common solution to repair small cracks.
