All Elements and Materials Deteriorate

For structures it is important to define at the outset

the required useful life expectancy.

We term life expectancy

Chemical Deterioration

Sulphate Attack

Chemical Spillage


7/39

Electro-Chemical Deterioration

Corrosion or rusting of steel reinforcement,

having been depassivated either by

Carbonation or Chloride contamination ofsurrounding concrete, or a combination of

the two.

Chloride Induced Electro-chemical

deterioration is generally the most common

form of reinforced concrete deterioration

experienced in the Gulf.

Existing Structures

Existing structures are principally

within:

Phase B

Phase C

Phase D


30/39

Existing Structures

Age of many concrete structure means

owners becoming faced with rapidly

increasing maintenance/rehabilitation

costs as deterioration move to phase D.

Why?

Lack of trained civil maintenance staff

Low priority given to civil works

No real appreciation of condition and

consequences of not taking action

No medium term planning


31/39

Actions to be Taken

Adopt same attitude to civil works as

applied to plant!

Develop maintenance programme for

reinforced concrete structures


32/39

Advantages/Benefits

Budgets planned well in advance

Human resources efficiently managed

Operations planned to minimise disruption of users

Extends service life of structure

Maintains capital investment


33/39

Maintenance Management

Start with Investigation of Structures

Archive search

Site investigation

- Visual inspection

- Sampling and testing

Assessment and RecommendationsPrioritise rehabilitation activities

Other Important Factors

Operational Constraints

- Special Temporary supports required

for structure

- Plant and equipment cannot be

relocated, diverted or decommissioned
