Get Repair And Rehabilitation Of Concrete Structures
On a daily basis, concrete structures all over Dubai are breaking down due to human-made and environmental factors. Deterioration of infrastructure is seen as a significant obstruction in the advancement of a country’s growth, especially when it is an uprising place like UAE. Repair and rehabilitation of concrete structures become necessary, with every second structure or building falling on the ground.
Why do we need Repair and rehabilitation?
Repair and rehabilitation of every concrete structure are required from time to time. The primary reasons for their deterioration are manmade and natural disasters. Earthquake-prone areas must be built in such a manner that they can sustain seismic waves and tectonic shift of plates underneath the earth.
But contractors use cheap methods for construction to make petty profits out of it through corruption. This results in permanent damage to the building. However, natural disasters are external factors that can not be controlled by the building constructors. Hence, regular monitoring and rehabilitation are required.
Repair and rehabilitation using confinement
There are a number of rehabilitation techniques used by different contractors to deal with various types of damage in the building. FRP Confinement (fiber reinforced polymer) is one of the most reliable rapid rehabilitation methods that has recently been started for the repair of reinforced concrete structures.
It is popular for bringing back the original capacity of the damaged concrete so that it can be as efficient and strong as before. This means that the concrete will have the same strength as before as if it was never damaged. The design and installation procedure of the confinement technique may be a little tricky in the practical world, but its effectiveness cannot be overlooked due to this reason.
Checking out different aspects of repair and rehabilitation
There is a high cost involved in the construction of a concrete structure and then in reconstruction and restoration of the same. However, if the contractors tick the box of the following aspects before installation, repair, and restoration of these structures, they can save themselves from incurring huge costs.
● Functionality of structure
● Structural safety
● Significance level
● Constructructional methodology
● Economy and cost
● Availability of skilled laborer
To make sure that all of these aspects are checked and executed efficiently, one has to employ specialized labor expertise and optimum art equipment to construct a reliable concrete structure that is capable of strength.
Repair and rehabilitation of these structures is a regular process and not a one-time thing. Cortec-me uses specialized equipment and techniques to restore the concrete structures to its original form. They also advise that a proper monitoring agency shall be involved to get the best results.
