Structural Masonry Repairs: Special Mortars and Concrete

Addressing Structural Pathologies in Building and Civil Engineering

In the building and civil engineering sectors, older concrete structures, buildings, and infrastructures often exhibit significant structural pathologies. These issues are primarily caused by the corrosion of internal reinforcements, resulting from:

  • Insufficient coverage of metal reinforcements.
  • Excessive permeability of the concrete, which facilitates water and aggressive agent infiltration.

This degradation is often visible in the form of spalling (detachment of concrete/mortar pieces), posing a serious fall hazard to areas below.

Our Expertise in Repairing Damaged Concrete

Acrobat X specializes in the comprehensive restoration of damaged structural masonry, ensuring both mechanical strength and aesthetic quality.

Our Repair Process

  1. Patching and Complete Inspection:
    • Removal of unstable zones to eliminate degraded materials and ensure a solid base for repairs.
  2. Passivation of Exposed Reinforcements:
    • Anti-corrosion treatment of exposed metal reinforcements to halt the progression of rust.
  3. Replacement of Structural Reinforcements:
    • Cutting and installation of new reinforcements when existing ones are too corroded to perform their function.
  4. High-Pressure Cleaning:
    • Surface cleaning and preparation to ensure optimal adhesion of repair materials.
  5. Masonry Reconstruction:
    • Application of special mortars or dry-spray concrete, tailored to structural and environmental requirements.
  6. Corrosion Inhibitor Treatment:
    • Use of migratory inhibitors to provide long-lasting protection to internal reinforcements.
  7. Protection and Finishing:
    • Application of:
      • Waterproofing agents to reduce permeability.
      • Surface hardeners to strengthen and protect against wear.
      • Paints or waterproofing systems for both functional and aesthetic enhancement.

Seismic Reinforcement of Structures

To improve the resilience of existing buildings, Acrobat X also undertakes seismic reinforcement by:

  • Adding additional reinforcements to key structural areas.
  • Rebuilding concrete substructures for enhanced stability.

These interventions follow the same technical principles as standard repairs, combining structural robustness and long-term durability.
