Concrete Repair

Concrete repair involves restoring the structural integrity, durability, and serviceability of damaged or deteriorated concrete elements. At Concrete Matters, concrete repair is approached as an engineering process, not a cosmetic treatment. Every repair is preceded by assessment, diagnosis, and selection of repair methods based on the cause of deterioration and the required performance.

Our repair solutions address both visible damage and underlying causes, ensuring long-term durability rather than short-term fixes.

Typical Causes of Concrete Deterioration

Concrete deterioration may result from one or more of the following:

Rebar Corrosion

Corrosion due to carbonation or chloride ingress leading to cracking and spalling.

Poor Concrete Quality

Low strength, segregation, inadequate compaction, or poor curing affecting performance.

Construction Defects

Honeycombing, voids, cold joints, and workmanship-related issues.

Overloading / Change of Use

Demand exceeding capacity due to revised loading or structural modifications.

Chemical Attack

Sulphate, acid, or industrial exposure reducing durability and integrity.

Water Ingress

Leakage and moisture penetration accelerating deterioration mechanisms.

Our Approach to Concrete Repair

Concrete Matters follows a systematic, engineering-led repair methodology:

1) Condition Assessment & Diagnosis

Visual inspection and damage mapping, supported by testing and investigation where required, to identify the deterioration mechanism.

2) Repair Strategy & Engineering Design

Selection of repair methods and materials based on performance requirements, compatibility, exposure conditions, and service-life objectives.

3) Execution & Quality Control

Controlled removal, surface preparation, reinforcement treatment, application, curing, and on-site verification to ensure durable outcomes.

Concrete Repair Techniques

Depending on the condition and exposure, we provide the following repair solutions:

Patch Repair & Section Replacement

Removal and reinstatement of damaged concrete using engineered repair mortars and controlled detailing.

Reinforcement Treatment

Cleaning, passivation, and corrosion protection of exposed steel reinforcement prior to reinstatement.

Structural & Non-Structural Repairs

Repairs designed to restore strength, serviceability, or durability as required by the structure.

Crack Repair

Injection or sealing solutions to restore integrity and prevent ingress of water or aggressive agents.

Defect Rectification

Repair of honeycombs and construction defects affecting durability, cover, and long-term performance.

Integration with Protection

Where required, repairs are combined with protective measures to prevent recurrence and extend service life.

Where We Apply Concrete Repair

Our concrete repair services cover a wide range of structures, including:

Buildings

Residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

Basements & Podiums

Substructures, podium slabs, and below-ground elements.

Parking Structures

Car parks, ramps, and traffic-exposed slabs.

Infrastructure

Concrete elements in infrastructure and utilities.

Water Structures

Water-retaining and water-excluding structures.

Industrial Areas

Plants and structures exposed to aggressive environments.

Why Concrete Matters

At Concrete Matters, concrete repair is not treated as a temporary fix but as a performance-driven intervention that extends the life of the structure. Our work is engineering-led, durability-focused, and supported by controlled execution and quality verification.
