Refurbishment of Coastal Structures

Piling Repair & Restoration

We have over 25 years experience in the industry and we have used that experience to partner with Snapjacket, a revolutionary design that is reinventing the entire marine piling repair industry. Using its patent pending design, the highly durable, UV protected, PVC based product simply affixes over an existing piling and locks together. The next step is to fill it with our unique specialist water displacing high strength polymerized repair materials to fully encapsulate and replenish the lost section. No more spending thousands of dollars and waiting weeks on expensive barges, cranes or heavy equipment. Now, there is a better way.

Concrete Repair & Restoration

Concrete will, under most circumstances provide a highly alkaline environment in which steel reinforcement will be protected from corrosion by the formation of a passive oxide layer. This passive oxide layer can in time be compromised, primarily due to the effects of carbonation or chlorides, leading to corrosion of the steel reinforcement, thus putting the long-term durability of the structure into question. At APA we can restore any sections of deteriorated concrete and apply protective and waterproof coatings to mitigate ongoing corrosion.

Sink Holes & Crack and Joint Sealing

You can fill sink holes and voids with dirt and aggregate or a cement fill, but that doesn’t change the fact that there was erosion or settlement in the first place. You could replace some or all of the wall. That is a major construction project that is highly disruptive to the property owner and possibly to the environment. An environmentally sensitive area could mean an extensive (and expensive) permitting process, delaying remedy by weeks or months. Depending on the location, you could be looking at needing to use a barge or crane to do the construction. There will always be situations where replacement is the better or only option, but it is not always the case. At APA we use the latest void filling techniques to fill sink holes wether open or buried underground, with water reactive and water resistent injection materials to provide a durable repair.

Wake and Leak Repair

Many of the structures within that protect your waterfront property in Sarasota are constructed from reinforced concrete and can suffer from a variety of problems, including water leaks within structures, resulting in significant concrete deterioration. While the problems may seem similar to those involved in repair and refurbishment work, the Sarasota waterways provide there own unique environment in which to carry out repair work. Materials have to be able to withstand the potential hurricane forces and the staff must be extremly knowledgeable and trained to work to these potential conditions.

Concrete Repair & Restoration

Concrete repair is one of our core disciplines and is integral to many of the refurbishment projects we partake in. As long-standing members of the Concrete Repair Association (CRA), APA Concrete Repairs Ltd have persistently provided a level of service in this discipline which meets and often exceeds the requirements of our clients, through the provision of corrosion control systems and protective surface coatings, subsequent to concrete repairs, to further enhance durability and ensure the appropriate aesthetics that our clients require. We offer a complete service of concrete repairs specific to the needs of reinforced concrete structures, ranging from careful, hand applied repairs for the remediation of cracked and spalled surfaces, to the reinstatement of large, defective areas through processes of shuttering and pouring or spray applied concrete.

We utilise the most up to date equipment which is unique to the repair in question when breaking out and reinstating concrete, with pneumatic tools often utilised for the removal of defective material in small repair areas, and techniques of hydro-demolition undertaken for the breakout of large volumes of concrete. Materials are carefully selected to provide our clients with a cost-effective repair solution whilst reinstating the structure to its originally designed strength and condition.

Our specialist concrete repair services also include the restoration of fire damaged structures, through extensive investigation and testing, prior to repair where possible, avoiding the costlier solution of demolition and reconstruction. We additionally undertake non-invasive structural concrete crack repairs, using progressive resin injection techniques, allowing for fast and long-lasting remediation in damaged structures of all backgrounds.

Our concrete repair services are undertaken by our own highly trained and certified operatives, ensuring a level of service which is suited to structures and projects of all scopes.

APA Concrete Repairs Ltd are widely experienced and suitably equipped in the following for the remediation of Reinforced Concrete Structures.

Piling Repair

You have probably seen the telltale “hourglass” shaped piling and you may own one yourself. Pilings decay fastest between the low tide and high tide mark. Few people realize that just like termites, there are wood boring clams and shipworms that exist in any body of water. Your pilings are a plentiful source of food and safety. Once they take refuge in your piling, you are on the road to the inevitable replace or repair decision. The SnapJacket piling replacement system permanently entombs these creatures and turns your weakened wood piling into a stronger cement one protected by a PVC jacket. When you choose us for timber piling repair, you are left with an impenetrable barrier to marine organisms and that’s why it lasts 50+ years.
