Ignoring Corrosion is NOT an Option corrosion grows over time
- 3% of GDP each year attributed to corrosion
- 27.5% of US bridges are structurally deficient or functionally obsolete
- Condition of infrastructure rated a D+ by ASCE
START WITH THE CONDITION SURVEY
A thorough condition survey is critical to ensure a successful repair & protection project. This testing should always be conducted by a qualified professional. Surveys generally consist of performing any number of the following tests:
- Spall and delamination survey
- Chloride and carbonation testing
- Reinforcement mapping and cover measurements
- Half-cell potential contour mapping
- Corrosion rate assessment
SIKA FULL SYSTEM REPAIR AND PROTECTION
Sika is the global leader in concrete repair and protection, corrosion inhibition
and structural strengthening systems. Sika can bring together these combined resources for you to support your complete project requirements for corrosion management.All are supported by the most highly trained and experienced sales and technical support network in the industry. Product options include:
Anodes
Zinc based, discrete, sacrificial anodes placed inside a concrete repair area in reinforced concrete structures which are corroding as a result of chloride induced corrosion.
Corrosion Inhibitor
Zinc based, discrete, sacrificial anodes placed inside a concrete repair area in reinforced concrete structures which are corroding as a result of chloride induced corrosion.
Silanes
One part, low viscosity, solvent free, reactive hydrophobic impregnations for concrete, masonry and cementitious substrates based on silane technology.
Rebar Coatings
1 or 3-component, cementitious, epoxy or zinc based coating materials with integral corrosion inhibitor, used as bonding primer and reinforcement corrosion protection.
