Concrete cancer treatment for unit block

13/05/2011

We regularly undertake concrete cancer repairs at a variety of property types.

We’re currently undertaking works to a unit block with concrete cancer in the balcony slabs. Our team have fortunately been able to grind and scabble away all the concrete to reveal that there is less than 10% loss on the rebar. This has been caught at exactly the right time because now we can treat the steel and ensure that further corrosion in these areas does not occur. This is a lucky client, some are not so lucky & find that their rebar has corroded further, which requires replacements and costs huge amounts of money spent on engineers.

Abseiling is a way to cut down access costs for concrete cancer repairs. We provide these services and more!

Sydney concrete cancer specialists for difficult access jobs

Do you have a concrete cancer repair which is located in a difficult to reach area of your building? By now you’ve probably been told that the access costs alone for the works are high and there are probably significant inconveniences involved in setting up scaffolding or getting mechanical access to the area needing work.

The good news is, concrete cancer repair can be done via a technique called industrial rope access. Our team of specialist concrete cancer repair professionals can access your facade with minimum intrusion and carry out the works. Get in touch with us for a quote on your project.

Concrete cancer quotes. Who do you recommend?

04/03/2011

This was an account of the process of getting a concrete cancer job quoted & fixed by one client.

I had what appeared to be concrete cancer in my building and some of it was very hard to reach. We got a couple of quotes and they came to huge amounts of money.

I mainly just had concrete guys out who proposed using scaffolding & EWP equipment to get to the repair areas, but somebody told me that abseilers could do it.

So I phoned a rope access concrete repair company who came out straight away and had a look at it. The guys who came didn’t seem to be phased by the access issues like the other companies were. They looked at the job in detail, did some preliminary planning onsite and supplied me with a quote within 24hrs. I was amazed. The price was only about 60% of the average price of the other quotes I got.

I booked the job with the abseilers straight away. They came a few days later and started the job. They were extremely professional and undertook the concrete repairs safely and methodically. All I can say is that i’ll never look at a facade repair the same again! Rope access is the answer.

Have you got concrete cancer at your unit block?

Concrete cancer at a unit block can cause widespread damage to a building if left untreated. Repairing concrete cancer can be a very expensive exercise, particularly where it has not been detected early.  Most concrete cancer specialists will scaffold you building to undertake the works, causing disruption to tenancy and unnecessary access costs. Industrial rope access concrete cancer repair  can simply the process and reduce costs by eliminating the need for scaffolding.

Concrete cancer can seriously undermine the structural elements of a building, or cause very dangerous situations where pieces of concrete fall off buildings to areas below where there may be people walking. This is a common problem in unit blocks near the ocean (within 25km).

We specialise in concrete cancer repair and have a team of abseilers who are able to perform some pretty heavy duty work, just by industrial rope access alone! Save yourself the cost of scaffolding and platforms where they would otherwise be required, and call us so that we can assess your concrete cancer repair needs and offer alternative solutions.
