CORROSION MITIGATION

Coordinated Systems Consulting provides best in class corrosion mitigation. Through our partnership with Surtreat Solutions, we are able to provide customers a complete system that not only prevents corrosion but actively treats and expels current corrosion from your concrete structure. This system also works with reinforced concrete, which penetrates the concrete to reverse rust and create an inert shell around the steel reinforcements inside of the concrete.


Frequently Asked Questions About Corrosion Mitigation

How does corrosion occur in concrete? Corrosion in reinforced concrete is one of the main concerns when talking about reinforced concrete structures. Typically, the reinforcements embedded into the concrete are protected by the high pH environment of the Portland cement around the reinforcements, which prevents corrosion from occurring (typically with pH levels around 12.5 or higher). However, when chlorides and other contaminants begin infiltrating the concrete through cracks and gel pores, it alters the state of the pH (pH of 10 or less), lowering it to levels where corrosion can occur on the reinforcements.

How do you prevent corrosion in concrete? The best way to prevent corrosion in concrete is by a corrosion mitigation. There are many ways to do this and it varies by industry, but it typically involves the application of a corrosion prevention product, such as a corrosion inhibiting admixture or a surface applied solution.

What is corrosion mitigation? Corrosion mitigation is any action or steps taken to reduce the likelihood of corrosion occurring. It can be the action of prevention or it can be the the action of mitigating already occurring corrosion.


THE CSC DIFFERENCE:

At CSC, we stabilize your substrate before our corrosion mitigation application. What this means for our clients is that the substrate is not only stronger upon application, but the entire application will last much longer.

CASE STUDY: KRESSEN STREET

Coordinated Systems Consulting was approached by the utility client to develop a solution for a current problem with a new service introduction into an existing manhole. To install the new utility extension, a hole needs to be cut in the sidewall of the brick manhole. Due to the age of the manhole it was determined the brick wall was minimally reinforced and did show some signs of aging and disrepair.
