Concrete Chimneys
Concrete Chimneys
Reinforced concrete structures require regular inspection, especially those exposed to aggressive atmospheric conditions, to monitor inherent conditions associated with concrete.
Stone carries out inspections for maintenance problems such as carbonisation, shrinkage, fissures and cracks, accelerated corrosion of reinforcement and possible delaminating of cover to rebar.
We also carry out internal inspections as chimney stacks suffer equally internally, where conditions are acidic generated by gas filtration to the inner windshield and areas where gases condense on the relatively cool inner face.
Any maintenance or remedial works carried out by Stone ensures that the structure has the maximum safe lifecycle.
Areas covered include: -
- Structural/surveys
- Concrete repair
- Fracture injection repair systems, refractory systems
- Refractory brick-work
- Steel linings replaced or repaired
- Lightning protection to new BS EN 62305:2006 standards and Cenelec codes
- Gas seal repair and renewal
