Applications
Marine Concrete
Marine concrete is subject to some of the harshest conditions on the planet, usually in the most critical of applications; where life span and structural reliability are optimum factors.
Potential Problems
Marine concrete is subject not only to chemical attack from seawater but also from continual impact from waves and the abrasive action of wave born sand and shingle with the ebb and flow of the tide.
This impact and abrasion can be very severe leading to spalling of the concrete and corrosion of the structural steel. Eventually this will result in structural failure.
