Concrete 2: Repair Planning and Preparation

Concrete 2: Repair Planning and Preparation

1 hr. Online Course

Level: Intermediate

Item#: RV-5266

SME: Anonymous

The success or failure of a concrete repair project is dependent on many things, including how well you plan and prepare for the project. This 1-hour interactive online course discusses factors that should be considered before selecting a concrete repair method, as well as steps that should be taken to prepare the site before the actual repair begins. The first section of the course discusses the properties of repair materials and the concrete substrate, along with a review of important factors at the repair site itself. The second section discusses removal of concrete, and preparation of concrete surfaces for further work.
