Industrial Loading Dock
Loading dock edge & face — Alexandria, NSW.
Project Overview
THE PROBLEM
Long sections of the loading dock edge had spalled, exposing rusted reinforcement and damaged concrete cover.
THE REPAIR
Defective concrete was removed, steel treated and the dock edge, front face and adjoining surface rebuilt.
THE OUTCOME
The loading dock repair area was reinstated with a continuous edge and a consistent mortar finish.
SITE CONDITIONS
Loading movements and warehouse access required separated work zones and staged delivery.
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.
