Concrete protection focuses on preventing deterioration by shielding concrete and reinforcement from environmental and operational exposure. Unlike repair or strengthening, protection is a proactive intervention designed to enhance durability, reduce maintenance, and extend the service life of concrete structures.
At Concrete Matters, concrete protection systems are selected based on exposure conditions, performance requirements, and long-term durability objectives—ensuring compatibility with existing concrete and any repair or strengthening works.
Concrete structures are continuously exposed to aggressive agents that can lead to premature deterioration.
Protection against carbonation and chloride-induced corrosion.
Reduction of moisture and chemical penetration into concrete.
Lower permeability and improved resistance to aggressive environments.
Preservation of repaired and strengthened areas from recurrence.
Lower life-cycle costs through preventative measures.
Improved long-term performance of concrete assets.
Concrete Matters follows a performance-based protection methodology:
Identification of environmental conditions, operational exposure, and deterioration mechanisms affecting the structure.
Selection of appropriate protection systems compatible with the substrate, repairs, and strengthening works.
Proper surface preparation, controlled application, and verification of thickness, adhesion, and curing.
Depending on exposure and performance requirements, we provide:
Protective coatings to reduce carbonation, moisture ingress, and environmental exposure.
Waterproofing solutions for basements, podiums, roofs, tanks, and wet areas to prevent leakage.
Reinforcement protection systems and corrosion mitigation measures for durable performance.
Systems designed to reduce permeability and resist aggressive chemicals and environments.
Protection combined with repair and strengthening for holistic durability improvement.
Protection solutions applicable to both new construction and existing concrete assets.
Concrete protection services are applied to:
Below-ground structures exposed to moisture and groundwater.
Traffic-exposed slabs and ramps subjected to chlorides.
Structures exposed to chemicals and aggressive environments.
Water-retaining and water-excluding concrete elements.
Protection of repaired and strengthened concrete elements.
Durability enhancement of new concrete structures.
At Concrete Matters, protection is not an afterthought—it is a core component of durable concrete engineering. Our systems are selected and applied to preserve structural performance and extend service life.
