Structural Concrete Repair & Restoration Services
High-Quality Solutions for Commercial, Industrial, Marine, Petrochemical, and Civil EnvironmentsThe general principles of structural concrete restoration services include: removal of unsound distressed concrete, arresting and preventing further degradation; treating exposed steel reinforcement; effective surface preparation, and replacing lost section removal from spalled or damaged concrete.
The first step should always be an investigation to determine the cause of the deterioration. Those conducting the investigation should be experienced in the means and methods of concrete condition assessment surveys. Notes, pictures and a sketch done in the field will refresh thoughts when a formal report is produced. The report shall include a description of the structure, the type environment, stresses, overall present condition.
Hiring the Right Structural Concrete Repair Contractor
Structural concrete repair requires a deep understanding of the cause and effect of each deficiency, the skill to apply the correct installation methods, and the experience to select the appropriate repair materials. Each repair is unique—there is no “one size fits all” solution. To ensure long-lasting, cost-effective results the first time, EDS follows ICRI standards and construction methods, utilizes engineered designs, and partners with qualified restoration contractors. These three elements are essential to achieving the desired outcome.
The Epoxy Design team has the experience and industry knowledge to provide structural concrete repair in applications such as: Commercial, Industrial, Marine, Petrochemical, and Civil.
Epoxy Design is committed to excellence, safety, and high standards.

Types of Structural Concrete Restoration
The most common types of structural concrete restoration needs may include:
- Concrete spalls
- Chemical degradation
- External strengthening
- Insufficient load capacity
- Cracks and delamination
- Poor construction techniques
- Aggressive environmental exposure
Each repair method must provide a monolithic, fully bonded structural outcome where the concrete element achieves or exceeds the original design strength as required. It is critical to hire a qualified concrete restoration contractor to repair each concrete condition and deliver finished results which meet the engineer’s design. These repairs will require specific knowledge and installation methods about materials such as specialty repair mortars, epoxy resins, bonding agents, integrated protective systems, and external structural strengthening in different conditions and environments.
Structural Concrete Repair Techniques
Various techniques are available for restoring concrete structures. The selection of the appropriate technique will depend on the cause of the initial damage (e.g. corrosion of the reinforcement, chemical attack, fire) and whether the repair is to be fully load-bearing or simply cosmetic.
Techniques for arresting and preventing further degradation include:
- Cathodic protection
- Chloride extraction
- Re-alkalization
- Repair of cracks, spalls and preventive means using surface sealers and or coatings
Testing Structural Concrete
Prior to performing structural repairs, some owners may employ a qualified testing laboratory to extract concrete cores, perform acoustic sounding, x-ray, GPS imaging, or ferro scanning, pull-off bonded coupon testing, and other evaluations in accordance with ICRI and ASTM methods. These assessments help verify existing conditions and provide valuable data to develope repair design, ensuring that restoration strategies are based on accurate, site-specific information.
Some additional considerations for every application:
- Discover the cause of distress and use proper means and methods to make repair.
- Use compatible repair materials for the concrete structure.
- Hire a qualified structural engineer with restoration experience to design and specify the repair.
- Accept only longtime experienced restoration repair contractor to complete structural repairs.
- How to deal with unforeseen conditions.
- Decide what level of confirmation and inspection is needed.
