Structural Concrete Restoration for Infrastructure Projects
The Value for Structural Concrete Restoration
The need for infrastructural repair across the globe continues to rise as concrete deterioration expands and corrosion costs for structural concrete restoration increases. According to NACE International, there is $22.6 billion of corrosion costs associated with the infrastructure market segment.
Concrete infrastructure serves as the building blocks of our society. It is purposefully used to commute, connect cities, and protect the land against natural disasters. While infrastructure is designed to last, most of the infrastructure standing to date is reaching the end of its intended life.
The Problem and SURTREAT® Advantage
The solutions that SURTREAT® provides for structural concrete restoration attack major problems that exist within concrete structures. Over time, carbon dioxide, water, acids, and other contaminants penetrate the surface through pores and cracks. This process reduces the pH and weakens the structure. As the pH decreases and the chlorides are elevated, the passive filming on the rebar is jeopardized causing corrosion to begin.These events cripple our infrastructure and create a large demand for the structural concrete restoration applications that SURTREAT® provides.
Traditional methods of blocking water penetration include sealers and coatings and provide short-term protection for concrete. Instead of correcting corrections, SURTREAT® purges and stabilizes contaminants while providing long term solutions. Our solutions migrate to the rebar in liquid and ionic phase and react to form a very stable passivating film. The solutions that SURTREAT® provides increase concrete’s hardness, durability and abrasion resistance. Surtreat® also increases the compressive, flexural, and tensile strength of the concrete.
Your Partner for Infrastructure Repair
SURTREAT® is the only company that develops, manufactures, and markets infrastructural repair products combined with testing, prescribing, applying, and verifying through a performance-based warranty.
Unlike alternative applications, our products were developed as a long-term, complete solution to mitigate the effects that destroys the composition of concrete. When you partner with SURTREAT®, you get more than a migratory corrosion inhibiting application that will extend your structures life. You also have a dedicated team that will work with you from start to finish to ensure the proper application and provide detailed concrete testing and reporting.

Structural Restoration Projects
Ocean City Longport Bridge
The Ocean City Longport Bridge in New Jersey had visual micro-cracking in the bridge deck concrete. This micro-cracking occurred the entire length even though the bridge had only been in service for less than a year.
Turnpike Bridge EB-526
Turnpike had bridge deterioration and increasing structure life back in the mid-90s. Some signs of rebar corrosion and deterioration were present. The bridge deck was an asphalt surface over reinforced concrete.
Railroad Overpass
Railroad overpass had concrete deck failure; surface failure, rebar corrosion and exposure, and concrete spalling. Failure was consistent with chloride contamination and chemical breakdown of the concrete.
