As a specialized engineering firm, Sanacon guarantees the safety and durability of swimming pools, parking garages, schools, and other vital buildings. Thanks to our thorough inspections, stability analyses, and repair advice, we optimize the lifespan of these structures at the heart of our society.
Swimming pool infrastructure is exposed to high temperatures, constant humidity, and pool water that inherently contains chlorides, which accelerates the degradation cycle of concrete and steel. Sanacon has in-depth expertise in assessing these exceptional exposure classes, including chloride attack, carbonation, moisture transport, and corrosion risks of reinforcement and fixings.
We perform thorough, material-technical diagnostics—from concrete analysis to inspections of technical rooms, roof structures, and air ducts—so that any risk is identified early on. Based on this, we develop sustainable, realistic, and cost-effective renovation and maintenance strategies that address the heavy loads that swimming pool buildings must withstand.
With clear reporting, objective advice, and close monitoring during implementation, Sanacon ensures that owners and managers get the maximum lifespan, safety, and operational reliability from their pool infrastructure.
Parking garages are heavily loaded by traffic, de-icing salts and fluctuating temperatures, which cause concrete and steel to degrade more quickly.
Typical risks include chloride ingress, carbonation, leaks through joints and detail defects, and local overloading or punching problems around columns.
Sanacon starts with a thorough condition diagnosis—from visual inspections to measurements of coverage, chloride profiles, and carbonation depth—and translates this into a clear risk prioritization per zone.
We design realistic repair and protection measures (membrane or wearing course, joint systems, cathodic protection, detailed improvements) and phase the work with minimal disruption to operations.
With clear reporting, site monitoring, and a multi-year maintenance plan, we ensure maximum lifespan, safety, and predictable cost control for your parking facility.
Many of our schools date from the 1960s and 1970s and are now struggling with the technical limitations of their time. At Sanacon, we believe that extending the lifespan of this outdated heritage is the key to a lower ecological footprint. Whether it’s damaged concrete, weathered facades, or the degradation of other building materials, we map the exact condition of the entire structure.
By paving the way for circular construction, we avoid the enormous CO2 impact of demolition and new construction. Instead of temporarily treating the symptoms, Sanacon offers independent advice that addresses the root cause of material obsolescence. Using innovative techniques, we restore structural integrity and safety, enabling school boards to invest their budgets wisely in solutions that will last for decades to come. Sanacon thus lays the necessary foundation for a healthy learning environment and a future-proof school building.
At Sanacon, we focus on maximizing the lifespan of your (concrete) structures. Our approach consists of a systematic process of inspection, research, and advice to ensure the sustainability of your building or infrastructure.
We assess the current load-bearing capacity of buildings and infrastructure, conduct stability studies, and recommend targeted reinforcement measures. From bonded reinforcement to temporary shoring, we engineer solutions that safely and sustainably extend the lifespan of existing structures.
At SANACON, we specialize in solving corrosion problems for concrete reinforcement using cathodic protection. Our experts, certified to the European standard EN ISO 15257:2017 (Level 3), offer high-quality, customized solutions.
Damage to building structures requires accurate analysis and expert advice to determine the cause and provide effective solutions. At Sanacon, we combine technical expertise with in-depth knowledge to investigate damage to concrete, steel, masonry, natural stone, and wood. Our approach is based on forensic engineering: the in-depth analysis of damage cases to uncover not only the visible problems but also the underlying causes.
