Make OR Break Factor
We improvised and adapted some location specific methods to cut down project costs, while still ensuring there was no compromise on quality.
THE CHALLENGE :
- The steel structure was corroded due to the combined corrosive effects of water seepage, ageing and carbonation.
THE ODDS :
- The entire repair had to be carried out with the structure in full operating condition
- Temporary scaffolding and propping had to be erected to facilitate plant operation
OUR RESPONSE :
- After the structural shortfall was analyzed, we first took curative and preventive measures to tackle the corrosion
- The cavities in the core concrete were grouted, and the damaged concrete sections were patched up
- The damaged RCC members were reinforced with steel jacketing and fibre wrapping and finally, a protective coating was done on all RCC members
