At the Knippegroen industrial site, SANACON conducted a complex and specialized assessment of the structural integrity of critical concrete structures. Unlike standard foundation investigations, this involved an in-depth forensic analysis of damage phenomena in a technically challenging industrial environment, where the continuity and safety of production processes are paramount.
Our approach:
Detailed Damage Diagnosis: Investigation of complex damage patterns in which multiple degradation mechanisms occur simultaneously, specifically focused on the heavy mechanical and chemical loads typical of the steel industry.
Advanced Material Analysis: Using specialist techniques to determine the true in-situ quality of the concrete, going beyond just compressive strength, to identify hidden defects and material fatigue.
Root Cause Analysis: A multidisciplinary approach to uncover the underlying causes of identified deficiencies, ranging from implementation errors to unforeseen environmental factors.
Strategic Restoration Advice: Translation of complex research results into a technically and economically sound renovation plan, aimed at maximizing the extension of the remaining lifespan.
