Commercial Café Structural Column
Structural column repairs — Sydney CBD, NSW.
Project Overview
THE PROBLEM
Concrete loss exposed corroded vertical bars and ties along a structural column beside the café area.
THE REPAIR
Loose material was removed, the exposed reinforcement treated and the affected column faces rebuilt.
THE OUTCOME
The column profile was reinstated with a dense cementitious finish over the repaired reinforcement zone.
SITE CONDITIONS
Tight internal access required dust containment and protection of nearby commercial fixtures.
Before & After
A Controlled Remedial Process
The repair sequence responds to the condition of the concrete, access constraints and surrounding site activity.
Inspection & Defect Mapping
Inspect the affected areas and establish the extent of concrete deterioration before planning access and repair zones.
Controlled Concrete Breakout
Remove unsound concrete back to a suitable substrate while protecting adjoining surfaces and the surrounding work area.
Reinforcement Treatment
Clean and assess exposed reinforcement, with any further steel repairs determined from its condition.
Structural Reinstatement
Place compatible repair mortar and reinstate the concrete profile to the specified repair detail.
Repair Finishing & Curing
Finish the repair faces and cure the material in accordance with the selected repair system.
Final Inspection
Check the repaired areas and remove work-zone protection when the repair and access requirements allow.
