Before: wharf beam with a long lower-face spall and exposed rusted horizontal reinforcement above a supporting pile.
BEFORE AFTER

The illustrated repair result

The beam has a continuous repaired profile, enclosing the previously exposed horizontal reinforcement.

THE PROJECT SCOPE

What the work involves

This comparison focuses on the beam above a wharf support pile. The before view shows a long spalled zone and exposed horizontal reinforcement along the lower face. In the after view, the beam face and lower return have a continuous grey finish. The supporting pile and surrounding structure remain visibly weathered, keeping the repair scope specific to the beam.

Lower beam face

Map the long spalled zone and visible horizontal reinforcement.

Soffit and lower edge

Inspect the underside transition for connected cracking and concrete loss.

Supporting junction

Assess accessible concrete where the beam meets the pile and adjoining elements.

WATERFRONT CONDITIONS

Access & staging

Work beneath the wharf would be planned around headroom, the supporting piles and the water below. A site-specific access arrangement would need to support inspection, repair placement and debris containment along the beam.

A COORDINATED APPROACH

Typical repair sequence

  1. Inspect the beam and soffit

    Record visible deterioration along the face, underside and support area.

  2. Confirm the structural repair scope

    Establish the assessed boundaries and any required structural input.

  3. Prepare and reinstate the section

    Address unsound cover and affected reinforcement to the specified repair detail.

  4. Cure and check the repaired beam

    Review the reinstated profile and document the work before removing access controls.
