Concrete Maintenance
Identify the Type of Damage and Make Repairs
Many times, concrete is viewed as a
maintenance-free material. Modern concrete
is a very durable construction material.
If properly proportioned and
placed, concrete will have a very long service
life, usually without the need for any
maintenance, at least for some time.
However, the Department of the Interior’s
Bureau of Reclamation, says there
are times when concrete does need maintenance
to extend or prolong its service
life.
Many of the Bureau’s concrete structures
were constructed using early concrete technology,
and they have already provided well
over 50 years of service under harsh conditions.
Concrete in these circumstances
should be inspected regularly to ensure that
it is receiving the maintenance necessary to
maintain serviceability.
In addition, today’s concrete may be
placed in extremely aggressive environments.
The life of that concrete can be extended by establishing and following a
well-planned maintenance program.
Performing effective maintenance to prolong the life of concrete is more economical
than taking no action. Full story »
