Electro-chemical techniques assist in controlling corrosion mechanisms within reinforced concrete.
Their usage is widely accepted and is a ‘tool in the armoury’ of the fight to control the ongoing mechanism of deterioration.

Makers have been strong advocates of their usage, specifically in Multi-Storey car parks, but equally in the control of deep seated carbonation as related to other insitu and pre-cast reinforced concrete structures and for structures where chloride based accelerators were used in construction.

Many of the Structures treated by us, have on-going monitoring, this in the form of embedded corrosion rate and ½ cell probes, in order to understand fully the degree of control exerted by the various processes on the reinforcement corrosion.

Controls can comprise of either, manually obtained data, from data loggers installed on site, or data transmitted from the installation over the Internet, on a Virtual Private Network (VPN). Makers have good examples of both situations.
