Concrete Compaction Issue
South Australia

Defective concrete structure identified by SureScan structural integrity engineers in Brisbane.
A rolling structural integrity testing device attached to a pole scans a concrete structure.

Overview

The scope of the project was the identification and rectification of a failed concrete pour. SureScan was approached to provide accurate scanning and data representation of the defect, allowing for effective resolution.

Our Approach

Our team was able to be on site with the scanning equipment within 24 hours. We conducted 2 days of extensive on-site scanning using the latest GPR (ground penetrating radar) technology in a grid formation to identify the extent of the defect. We were then able to generate the findings report within 1 day.

Findings

The report revealed that poor concrete compaction during installation had resulted in extensive honeycombing and blockage, leading to perpetual voids and cavities. To rectify the issue, the client needed to mechanically remove the honeycombing, voids, and cavities, restoring the concrete back to a sound condition. Liquified grout was then utilised in the defect zone to comply with the final design. By leveraging our SureScan services, the client was able to avoid the need for full hydro demolition and isolate the repair efforts to the scanned area, saving time, money, and preventing unnecessary disruptions.
