Waterfront Car Park Perimeter Beam
Perimeter beam & soffit — Neutral Bay, NSW.
Project Overview
THE PROBLEM
Extensive spalling and reinforcement corrosion affected the external perimeter beam above the car park.
THE REPAIR
Damaged concrete was removed, reinforcement treated and the beam face, edges and soffit rebuilt with repair mortar.
THE OUTCOME
The external beam profile was reinstated and the adjacent white steel support was refinished.
SITE CONDITIONS
The open car park and waterfront setting required controlled vehicle access and protection below the beam.
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.
