Quality audit and damage analysis of industrial waste bunkers

For Bionerga’s Biostoom site in Beringen, SANACON conducted a specialized study on the structural condition of the concrete walls of the waste bunkers. Given the extreme mechanical and chemical loads in such an environment, the concrete’s compliance with the specifications is essential for operational safety.

Our approach:

  • Phased Condition Assessment: Performing a detailed visual inspection to identify damage and wear patterns.

  • Destructive Material Analysis: Collection of drill cores to determine the true in-situ compressive strength and water absorption (WAI), crucial for fluid tightness and durability.

  • Specification validation: Objective testing of measurement results against the original technical specifications and standards.

  • Strategic Restoration Advice: Analysis of the causes of damage (normal wear and tear versus material defects) as the basis for a sustainable renovation and maintenance plan.

We are happy to help you

Your structure deserves a future. Protection against deterioration, strengthening its load-bearing capacity, and extending its lifespan are crucial to prevent damage and high costs. Sanacon offers independent advice and innovative solutions to keep your structure sustainable and safe – today and for decades to come.
