Concrete Cancer

1 Riverpark Drive, Liverpool

Industry: Residential

Type of work: Concrete Cancer Remediation

The undertaken actions at 1 Riverpark Drive, Liverpool, involved comprehensive concrete repair measures spanning a total of 121 meters long and 1.2 meters wide with a focus on 10 individual unit blocks. The repair scope included addressing architectural concrete sections on level 1, specifically targeting balcony areas.

Primary issues

The primary concerns addressed revolve around the need for concrete cancer repair, focusing on contaminated areas, loose concrete, rust on steel reinforcement, and potential water damage to balcony slabs.

Root causes of these issues

These issues likely stem from natural wear and tear, exposure to environmental elements, and, in some cases, builder-related construction causing degradation. The balcony slab edges may be susceptible to water damage, necessitating protective measures.

Solutions we implemented

To mitigate these concerns, actions include cleaning and removing loose concrete and builder-induced rubbish, removal of rust on steel reinforcement, application of Nitoprime zinc-rich anti-corrosion primer, cleaning scabbled concrete surfaces, priming small repairs with HB 40 repair product, conducting major repairs on larger areas, applying cement bedding, rendering balcony slab edges, and membraning larger surfaces with two coats of waterproofing membrane for future water damage protection.

Outcomes

Following these interventions, observed outcomes include enhanced structural integrity, improved aesthetic appearance, and fortified resistance against potential water damage to concrete areas and balcony slabs in the future.
