Before having concrete repairs carried out, you want certainty regarding the cause, extent, and correct approach. Sanacon independently investigates your structure—using laboratory analysis and calculation models—and provides substantiated repair advice. No sales pitch from a contractor who also performs the repairs themselves, but an objective technical assessment.
We do not carry out concrete repairs. This is a deliberate choice: as an engineering firm, we have no interest in a larger repair volume, only in a correct diagnosis and advice that stands up to scrutiny.
Diagnosis and execution do not belong to the same party.
Most concrete repair companies combine inspection and execution in a single quotation. This is not inherently problematic, but it does create a structural conflict of interest: the more extensive the damage assessed, the larger the contract that same party secures.
Sanacon deliberately splits this process. We establish the diagnosis and formulate the repair advice — you then have the execution carried out by a contractor of your choice, based on specifications that we can help draft. For owners, property managers, government bodies, and insurers, this means:
“Concrete decay” is a collective term for the corrosion of reinforcement in concrete, caused by two possible mechanisms: carbonation (CO₂ neutralizing the protective alkalinity of the concrete) and chloride penetration (salts from seawater or road salt locally breaking through the passive protective layer). Both require a different diagnosis and different repair advice.
Our analysis combines:
This study shows not only what is visibly affected today, but also which seemingly intact zones are at risk within a few years — crucial information to avoid over- or undertreatment.
Based on the diagnosis, we provide substantiated repair advice tailored to the cause, extent, and function of your structure:
For more complex or large-scale cases, we combine this advice with technical expertise or, in cases of damage with a legal or insurance component, with forensic engineering .
