Concrete Technology and Durability
Overview
The durability of concrete in structures is the key consideration for designers when considering asset management and overall life cycle costs and sustainability. Many infrastructure and building projects have specific conditions during construction and in service which can have significant impact on the durability and therefore, the service life and operational and maintenance costs, of a structure. Ensuring or extending the life of a structure is a key aspect of a structure’s sustainability. Different concretes face different durability issues depending on the in situ environmental conditions and the mechanical properties involved.
We provide comprehensive services to support the design, specification and use of concrete and construction materials in building and infrastructure projects having specific constraints. Our performance-based advice makes for a range of durability and constructability requirements and alternative approaches.
