Structural Concrete Repair in New Orleans, LA
We Serve Parking Garage, Commercial, Marine, & Civil ClientsNew Orleans asks more of reinforced concrete than almost any city in the country. Soft delta soils that keep settling, a high water table, Gulf humidity, and repeated hurricane and flood exposure push moisture and chlorides into structures until rebar corrodes, concrete spalls, and load capacity drops. Epoxy Design Systems provides structural concrete repair in New Orleans, LA for owners, engineers, and property managers who need parking garages, commercial buildings, and marine structures restored to their original design strength.
As specialty trade contractors established in 1977, we have completed over 5,500 repairs across the United States and internationally. Every commercial structural concrete repair we perform in New Orleans follows ICRI- and ACI-compliant methods and is engineered for the conditions your structure actually faces.
Epoxy Design is committed to excellence, safety, and high standards.

Cracked beams, spalling columns, and exposed rebar get worse with every wet season. Our team will assess your structure, identify the root cause of the damage, and deliver a repair plan built for New Orleans conditions.
Our Commercial Structural Concrete Repair Services
No two concrete failures are the same. We identify whether the cause is corrosion, settlement, chemical attack, storm damage, or overloading before selecting a repair method.
We remove delaminated and deteriorated concrete, clean or replace corroded reinforcing steel, and rebuild the section with polymer-modified repair mortars bonded to sound substrate.
For parking garages, we seal and replace failed expansion joints and install urethane traffic deck coatings that keep water and chlorides out of the structural slab. Protecting the deck is the most cost-effective way to prevent the next round of spalling underneath it.
Structural cracks in beams, columns, walls, and slabs are injected with high-strength epoxy to restore monolithic strength. Active leaks and water-bearing cracks, common in below-grade New Orleans structures, are sealed with flexible polyurethane.
When columns, beams, or slabs have lost capacity or a building is changing use, carbon fiber reinforced polymer systems add strength without adding significant weight or section depth.
Much of New Orleans sits on pile foundations, and riverfront wharves rely on concrete and timber piles exposed to tidal and current action. We encapsulate damaged piles in jacket systems filled with epoxy or cementitious grout to stop ongoing section loss.
Settlement and soil washout leave voids beneath slabs, grade beams, and garage ramps. Pressure and polyurethane chemical grouting fill those voids, stop water intrusion, and restore support.
Chloride-induced corrosion is the leading cause of spalling in humid coastal climates. We apply corrosion protection systems and hot zinc metalizing to slow rebar corrosion and extend service life well beyond a standard patch.
Spall Repair
Our Structural Concrete Repair Process
Condition Assessment
We evaluate cracking, spalling, corrosion, and settlement using acoustic sounding, core sampling, pull-off testing, and other ASTM- and ICRI-compliant methods to find the cause of the damage, not just the visible symptom.
Engineered Repair Design
We work with your structural engineer of record, supply product data, and match each repair to the structure's actual load and exposure requirements.
Repair Execution
Our cross-trained crews complete the work using manufacturer-tested materials, scheduled around your operations to keep downtime to a minimum.
Quality Assurance and Closeout
Every repair is inspected against the design specifications before closeout.rack record of over 5,500 completed repairs.
Concrete Corrosion
Why New Orleans Structures Need Specialized Concrete Repair
New Orleans combines nearly every condition that shortens the life of reinforced concrete:
- Subsidence and soft soils. Much of the city sits at or below sea level on soft clays and organic soils that continue to settle. That movement shows up as cracked slabs, distressed grade beams, and voids beneath foundations.
- High water table and constant moisture. Groundwater close to the surface keeps below-grade concrete wet, feeding leaks, efflorescence, and corrosion.
- Chlorides and humidity. Brackish water around Lake Pontchartrain and the industrial canals, combined with year-round humidity, drives chlorides into concrete and attacks embedded rebar.
- Hurricane and flood exposure. Storms like Katrina and Ida left structures saturated for extended periods. Hidden damage often appears months later as widening cracks, rust staining, or sinking slabs.
- Aging building stock. Many concrete-frame buildings and parking structures in the CBD and Warehouse District were built before modern corrosion-protection standards.
- Parking decks take constant punishment. Garage slabs carry daily wheel loads and hold standing water after heavy rain. Moisture and chlorides that get past failed joints and coatings corrode the reinforcing steel and spall the concrete from the underside of the deck.
Catching damage early and choosing the correct repair method costs far less than replacement or an unplanned shutdown.
Industries and Structures We Serve in New Orleans
Multi-level parking structures across the CBD, Medical District, and airport area face chloride intrusion from both vehicle traffic and humid air. We restore slabs, columns, beams, and ramps, and we phase repairs level by level so portions of the garage stay open to parkers.
We repair piles, pile caps, decks, and bulkheads at marine and riverfront facilities along the Mississippi River. We carry Jones Act, USL&H, and P&I marine liability coverage.
Precast double-tee garages depend on bearing pads, connections, and joints that wear out over time. We replace deteriorated bearing pads, repair cracked stems and flanges, and restore connections so the structure carries load as designed.
We restore structural concrete in office towers, hotels, and event venues while limiting disruption to tenants and guests.
Treatment plants and drainage facilities operate under constant moisture and chemical exposure. We repair and protect concrete tanks, basins, and structures.
From highway overpasses to bridges, we restore structural capacity and extend service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Warning signs include cracks that widen over time, rust staining, exposed or corroded rebar, spalling or flaking concrete, and sections that sound hollow when tapped. Because humidity and moisture speed up corrosion in New Orleans, damage tends to progress faster than in drier inland markets, so early assessment matters.
Yes. Soft soils across the region continue to settle, which can crack slabs, stress grade beams and pile caps, and open voids beneath foundations. We address settlement-related damage with crack injection, pressure and chemical grouting, and structural strengthening where capacity has been lost.
Yes. Storm surge, prolonged flooding, and wind loading can cause damage that is not visible right away. We assess affected structures, identify cracking, delamination, and corrosion, and recommend repairs that restore structural integrity.
Yes. We repair and protect piles, pile caps, decks, and bulkheads at marine and riverfront facilities, and we carry Jones Act, USL&H, and P&I marine liability coverage.
In most cases, yes. We phase garage repairs by level or section so most parking stays available, and many of our methods, including crack injection and carbon fiber strengthening, are designed for minimal downtime.
Yes. We work alongside structural engineers and architects, provide product data, and execute repair specifications designed to meet or exceed original strength requirements.
