Concrete cancer is a common issue in coastal towns and cities. The climatic conditions of a coastal environment expose concrete to contaminants which accelerate corrosion of the steel reinforcement. This causes the steel to expand, displacing the concrete around it, causing it to become brittle and crack, which exacerbates the issue further. If left unattended the corrosion spreads through the steel creating more damage. The concrete cancer will often become more difficult and expensive to repair as time goes on.

We have extensive experience in the remediation of concrete cancer across many types of structures, including underground carparks, high rise apartment blocks, infrastructure, and swimming pools etc.
