Techniques for Building Repairs

1 Material Selection

The right combination of materials is crucial for the success

Surface Preparation of the repair project.

2
The surface must be cleaned and treated to remove any
contamination and create a good bond. 3 Rust Eliminators and Polymer Coatings

Special rust eliminators and polymer coatings can be used

Quality Control 4 to extend the life of the repaired element.

Excellent quality control must be applied throughout the

repair process to ensure that no errors occur.
Methods of Building Repairs

1 Epoxy Injection 2 Mortar Repair for 3 Waterproofing of

Epoxy can be injected into
cracks to create a strong bond
and prevent them from
spreading.
Cracks: Guniting and
Shotcreting
These techniques involve
spraying a mix of mortar,
cement, and sand at high
velocity to fill in cracks and
level surfaces.
Concrete Roofs
Special waterproof coatings
can be applied to concrete
roofs to prevent leaks and
protect them from UV rays and
other weather conditions.

4 Repair of Cracks in Concrete and Masonry

Cracks can be repaired using a range of techniques such as grouting, routing, and stitching.

Structural Repairs
1 Crack Stitching
Stitching is used to stabilize
masonry and concrete
elements that are cracked or
have shifted over time.
2 Helical Bars
Helical bars are stainless steel
bars inserted into masonry to
reinforce the structure and
hold it together.
3 Carbon Fiber
Reinforcement
Carbon fiber reinforcements
can be installed to improve the
resistance of structural

Quality Control for Building Repairs
Non-Destructive Testing

Non-destructive testing techniques such as ultrasonic,

radiography, and thermography can be used to assess the
quality of the repair work.
