Concrete Repair, Rehabilitation and Structural Strengthening

Ageing bridges, buildings and water structures across Africa need repair long before their designers expected, driven by corrosion, poor construction and harsh climates. This course explains why concrete deteriorates and how to diagnose, specify and supervise durable repairs. It covers the repair and strengthening methods a site team must get right so the fix outlasts the problem it was meant to solve.
