Concrete Repair
Spalling, reinforcement corrosion and cracking corrected with Sika® repair mortars and protective coatings — cause first, cosmetics second.
Overview
How we approach it
Concrete repair restores damaged, spalling or corroded concrete to full structural condition by treating the corroding reinforcement and rebuilding the section with engineered repair mortars. It's needed the moment cracking, rust staining or falling cover appears — the damage only accelerates.
Spalled concrete and exposed rusting rebar are symptoms, not the disease. The disease is usually chloride contamination or carbonation that lets reinforcement corrode; patch over it without treating the steel and the repair pops off within a couple of years. Coastal structures in Jeddah see this constantly.
Our repairs follow the full Sika® concrete repair methodology: break out to sound concrete, clean and prime the reinforcement with SikaTop® Armatec® anti-corrosion primer, reinstate with SikaTop® / Sika MonoTop® polymer-modified repair mortars matched to the structural demand, and finish with Sikagard® protective coatings that slow future carbonation and chloride ingress. For structural cracks we combine repair with Sikadur® epoxy injection.
The result is a repair designed to outlast the surrounding concrete — not just hide the damage until handover.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Why is my building's concrete cracking and spalling?
In most Saudi cases: chloride contamination or carbonation has reached the reinforcement, the steel is rusting, and rust expansion pops the concrete cover off. Coastal humidity in Jeddah accelerates it. That's why cosmetic patching fails — the corrosion continues underneath. Effective repair treats the steel, not just the surface.
Can spalled concrete be repaired permanently?
Yes, when the full methodology is followed: break out to sound concrete, clean and prime the reinforcement with anti-corrosion coating, reinstate with polymer-modified Sika repair mortars, and protect the surface against future carbonation. Repairs done this way are engineered to outlast the surrounding original concrete.
Is concrete repair cheaper than demolition and rebuilding?
Almost always, dramatically so — typically a small fraction of replacement cost, with no loss of use of the building. The exception is concrete so chloride-saturated that repair areas would keep expanding; our survey includes testing to tell you honestly which side of that line your structure is on.
