1800 18 20 20Engineered Concrete Protection & Repair Solutions for Commercial, Industrial & Infrastructure Assets
Concrete is one of the most durable construction materials available, but continuous exposure to moisture, chemicals, abrasion, heavy traffic, and environmental conditions can cause it to deteriorate over time. Cracking, spalling, reinforcement corrosion, and surface wear not only reduce the appearance of an asset but can also compromise its structural performance and service life.nnAt Rectify, we provide protective coatings and concrete repair solutions for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, utilities, transport infrastructure, mining operations, marine assets, and government projects across Melbourne, Victoria, South Australia, and throughout Australia.nnOur engineering-led approach uses targeted protective coatings. We identify the underlying cause of deterioration before applying proven repair systems and protective coatings that restore structural integrity, improve durability, and extend asset life.
What Causes Concrete Deterioration?
Concrete deterioration rarely results from a single issue. It usually develops gradually as environmental, structural, and operational factors affect the material over time.
Reinforcement Corrosion
When moisture and oxygen reach reinforcing steel, corrosion develops. As steel expands during corrosion, it creates internal pressure that causes cracking and concrete spalling.
Structural Movement
Foundation settlement, thermal expansion, vibration, and operational loading may create cracks that allow moisture and contaminants to penetrate the concrete.
Water Ingress
Water entering concrete through cracks or joints can accelerate reinforcement corrosion, weaken concrete, and reduce long-term durability.
Chemical Attack
Industrial facilities, wastewater plants, marine environments, and chemical storage areas expose concrete to aggressive chemicals that gradually degrade the concrete surface.
Heavy Traffic & Abrasion
Constant forklift traffic, heavy machinery, vehicles, and pedestrian movement gradually wear protective concrete surfaces, particularly in warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities.
Environmental Exposure
Rain, UV radiation, salt exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and temperature fluctuations all contribute to long-term concrete deterioration.
Protective Coating & Relining Solutions
Engineered coating and relining systems designed to protect concrete structures, prevent deterioration and extend the operational life of critical assets.
Surface Coatings
Surfaces exposed to the elements, wear and tear or potential chemical corrosion requires surface coating to protect the concrete slab and steel reinforcement.
Few different types of coatings include:
Epoxy Coatings
have excellent adhesion, chemical resist and durability. Floors exposed to wear and tear or exposed to corrosive chemicals. Examples of these are industrial warehouses, manufacturing warehouses for milk, yogurt etc, workshops, and kitchens.
Elastomeric Polyurethane Coatings
highly flexible, impact resistant and used for structures that experience dynamic loads and movement. These include bridge decks, car parks and roofs. Also effective in waterproofing applications.
Chemical Resistant Coatings
for Storage Tanks are crucial as part of the ongoing maintenance and design life requirements of the chemical storage tanks. The tanks storing chemicals, be it for water/sewer treatment, chemical bunds or fuel storage tanks require surface treatment to ensure the storage tank structure be it concrete or steel isn't corroded or degraded by the chemicals.
Structural Repair and Relining
required due to the abrasion of the surface caused by continuous flow. There can also be general degradation and/or corrosion of the original liner or structure. Coatings are applied to surfaces like concrete or steel to repair and strengthen existing structures, prevent further degradation, and extend the lifespan of the assets.
Cement-Based Protective Coatings
applied to restore, strengthen and protect structures from water intrusion, chemical attack, or environmental degradation. Suitable for rehabilitating deteriorated structures including sewer/water mains and pipelines, stormwater applications, pumping stations, pits and transfer facilities to name a few.
Concrete Repair
Concrete Repair involves restoring the structural integrity, function, and appearance of damaged or deteriorated concrete structures. Concrete can suffer from various types of damage include cracking, moisture ingress causing steel corrosion and subsequent spalling, chemical and physical weathering. These can be caused by factors such as environmental exposure, wear and tear, poor construction practices, or structural overload. The goal of concrete repair is to extend the service life of the structure, prevent further degradation, and restore its original functionality.
Specialist Concrete Repair Solutions
Every repair method is selected to address the specific cause of deterioration, restoring structural integrity while protecting the long-term performance of your concrete asset.
Crack Repair
Crack Injection
Low-viscosity epoxy or polyurethane resins are injected into cracks to restore the structural integrity and prevent water ingress.
Spall Repair
Surface Repair Mortars
Used to patch areas where concrete has broken away or spalled due to corrosion of reinforcement.
Reinforcement Repair
Crack Injection
Low-viscosity epoxy or polyurethane resins are injected into cracks to restore the structural integrity and prevent water ingress.
Common Types of Concrete Repairs
Corrosion Mitigation
Involves cleaning and treating corroded steel reinforcement and applying protective coatings or inhibitors to prevent further corrosion.
Rebar Replacement or Addition
Damaged or corroded reinforcing bars are replaced or supplemented to restore structural integrity.
Overlays and Surface Repairs
Thin-Bonded Overlays
Thin layers of polymer-modified or fiber-reinforced materials are applied over the existing surface to repair and protect against further damage.
Full-Depth Replacement
When damage is extensive, a full-depth repair involves removing and replacing entire sections of concrete, and re-tying into larger concrete section.
