How resilient are your construction materials?
Many people wait until there are visible signs of failure. However, this can dramatically reduce the life-expectancy and increase financial burdens. Learn how to take preventative measures.
1
Environmental Factors
Soil properties, water, temperature and humidity can all cause chemical reactions of critical components and weaken materials. We help to investigate material vulnerabilities to ensure critical components are protected from exterior elements.
2
Metals
Exposed metals are susceptible to deterioration. Learn how we can slow down this process. We can help reduce maintenance costs, lower safety issues and increase the overall service life of the structure.
3
Reinforced Concrete
Concrete performs differently in coastal areas versus inland locations. We can help identify the right concrete repairs appropriate for existing conditions to provide long-term durability.
4
Masonry
Understanding root causes of masonry deterioration is imperative in determining long-term repairs necessary to prevent undesired chemical reactions from taking place.
