3 Main Types of Repair and Rehabilitation of Steel Structures

 There are many different methods for repairing and rehabilitating steelstructures, but some of the most common include the following:

 1. Structural repair: This type of repair addresses issues with the integrity of a steel structure, such as damaged or corroded components. Structural repairs can involve replacing individual components, such as beams or columns, or reinforcing existing components to improve their load-carrying capacity. Structural engineers often perform this type of repair. It is intended to restore the structural integrity of the steel structure to ensure that it can continue to perform as intended.

You can rely on professional Structural Engineers in Brisbane, like Master Steel, for your steel building maintenance or other steel fabrication services.

2. Protective coatings: Another common approach to repairing and rehabilitating steel structures is the application of protective coatings. These coatings are designed to protect the steel from the elements and provide a barrier against corrosion. This can include paint, epoxy coatings, or other specialized coatings. Applying protective coatings is an efficient way to extend the life of steel structures, providing an effective barrier to prevent corrosion and provide a consistent aesthetic appearance.

 3. Corrosion control: Corrosion is a common issue that affects steel structures over time. It can be caused by exposure to the elements, salt, or chemicals. Corrosion control involves implementing measures to mitigate the corrosion of steel structures, such as cathodic protection and repair of surface damage. This process is often used to extend the life of steel structures and prevent them from losing their load-carrying capacity. These methods include surface preparation, primer application, intermediate coat, and finish coat.
