Corrosion management keeps the nation moving

Corrosion management keeps the nation moving

30 million drivers use the UK’s road networks every single day – so safety is absolutely paramount. With so many causes of structural or aesthetic deterioration – such as pollution, natural damage and traffic collisions – our road bridges need a little help to keep them looking and performing well.

Concrete is a robust and durable building material but it is also under constant threat and when it fails the results can be catastrophic – especially if it affects the transport system. A whole host of things can cause damage and reduce the concrete’s lifespan. Vulnerability to water, airborne contaminates and the constant use of vehicles has meant that many parts of the UK transport network require upgrading to not only renovate, but ensure they are clean, safe and structurally sound.

With a range of products and systems that is unrivalled in the industry, Sika is the global leader in the Total Corrosion Management (TCM) of concrete structures. Suitable for commercial and industrial buildings, residential properties, bridges and tunnels, the company’s approach includes cathodic protection, galvanic anodes, surface-applied corrosion inhibitors and high performance coatings – helping to safeguard the future of a property and protect assets with a rehabilitation solution that is built to last.
