Concrete repair

TÜV SÜD offers professional competence and legal certainty in all questions of concrete rapir

In view of increasingly harmful environmental influences, repair of concrete elements such as balconies, façade elements and of course supports, ceilings and floor slabs of underground car parks is gaining in importance. Repair work must aim at permanently protecting the concrete and its reinforcement against new damage and at maintaining the value of the structure as a whole.

In addition to sophisticated technical decisions, cost efficiency also plays a major role in the planning and execution of repair work. In which cases and to what extent is repair more costeffective than new construction, and therefore a preferable alternative, is a question which frequently crops up. Recent years have seen the development of new construction materials and procedures offering excellent features for expert, permanent and cost-effective concrete repair.
