Deteriorating concrete structures do not have to be demolished and rebuilt, since with the right diagnosis and technique, most can be restored to safe, long-term service through effective Concrete Repair. This training course gives participants a complete, practical grounding in advanced repair and strengthening practice, connecting accurate condition assessment directly to durable, cost-effective repair and strengthening solutions.
Participants will strengthen their understanding of rehabilitation strategies for aging and deteriorated concrete structures, and will build practical competency in selecting and applying crack repair techniques suited to different crack types and causes. The course places strong emphasis on modern FRP strengthening methods for enhancing structural capacity, and develops sound skills in planning and executing structural restoration works that restore both safety and serviceability.
