Saudi Arabia has seen a rapid recent development of the infrastructure, commercial, industrial and residential sectors, development which is set to increase in the coming years. Much of this has been constructed using reinforced concrete which requires maintenance to ensure long term durability and structural integrity. The saline environment often found in the region can cause significant corrosion risk to the steel reinforcement if adequate measures are not undertaken at the design and construct stage.
The Concrete Repair Workshop on Sunday 11th March 2012 at The Big 5 Saudi, will be led by Concrete Repairs UK. It will address many of the key issues surrounding concrete repair as well as corrosion control, and help you to take the necessary steps to ensure that you maximise the lifespan of your new and existing projects.
