Our steel corrosion control services provide essential protection for steel structures, ensuring their longevity and structural integrity. Utilizing methods such as cathodic protection, simple barrier coatings, and corrosion inhibitors, we offer comprehensive solutions to prevent and mitigate the effects of corrosion. Corrosion can significantly compromise the strength and safety of steel, making it crucial to implement effective control measures. Our services safeguard your investments in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure projects.

The primary deterioration mechanism for reinforced concrete is corrosion of the steel reinforcement. This is usually initiated by carbonation of the concrete at the depth of the reinforcement, or high levels of chloride ions at the steel concrete interface. Unless the chlorides were cast in the concrete as either an accelerator, or unwashed sea aggregates, this process of migration, and movement of the carbonation front takes place over a period, depending on the durability of the concrete cover. If we can slow down the rate of movement of either of these mechanisms, coupled with a reduction in the ingress of water and oxygen, we will delay the onset of corrosion of the reinforcing, and prevent any subsequent spalling taking place.

BestSolution are well experienced and competent in the cleaning and preparation of concrete, and the application of a variety of coatings systems. These include;

• anti-carbonation coatings,

• penetrating hydrophobic coatings (such as siloxanes and silanes),

• migrating corrosion inhibitors,

• decorative coatings, and

• cementitious coatings.
