The Problem: Deterioration of Reinforced Concrete
The widespread use of steel reinforcement (rebar) in concrete has enabled us to build incredible structures using thinner panels to bridge longer spans; faster and cheaper than ever before. The problem with embedding steel in concrete, is that while it looks protected, it isn’t. Concrete is inherently porous which allows a variety of contaminants to penetrate. When water and oxygen are present it creates an electrochemical reaction between different pieces or segments of a single piece of rebar which causes the steel to rust. When it rusts, steel must expand, and can expand up to four times its size, causing the rigid concrete to crack and fail.

“A Space Act Agreement between Kennedy Space Center and SURTREAT [….] resulted in a new treatment that keeps buildings from corroding away over time. Structural corrosion is a multi-billion dollar problem in the United States. The agreement merged Kennedy Space Center’s research into electrical treatments of structural corrosion with chemical processes developed by SURTREAT. Combining NASA and SURTREAT technologies has resulted in a unique process with broad corrosion control applications.”
