| YUM YUM TREE CONDOMINIUMS is
located just blocks from the ocean in Treasure Island, FL. Following
years of exposure to the ocean salts, the reinforcing steel in
the 36" to 48" concrete support columns had experienced
galvanic corrosion. The corrosion of the reinforcing steel in
the columns had resulted in cracking, spalling and subsequent
delamination of the original concrete. The corrosion process
and subsequent concrete deterioration, if not addressed and properly
rectified, would further compromise the structural integrity
of the support columns. The corrosion was not only isolated to
the structural support columns of the complex's car park, but
the balcony edges and window sills had also shown various levels
of concrete deterioration. |

Crain Construction Consultants'
following examination determined that full and partial depth
formed repairs to the columns was required to rectify the deteriorated
concrete and to arrest the corrosion process. This repair methodology
would not only arrest the corrosion process, but also reinstate
the long-term structural integrity to the support columns.
Crain Construction Consultants
approved MEADOWS MEADOW-CRETE FNP EXT for the formed reinstatement
of the columns. MEADOW-CRETE FNP EXT is a highly flowable, self-compacting,
self-deairing, non-segregating, very low shrinkage, high strength,
dense structural repair mortar having a similar modulus of elasticity
to the existing concrete which will ensure proper load transferring
performance. The MEADOW-CRETE FNP EXT also contains a migrating
corrosion inhibitor to protect the reinforcing steel from future
corrosion and stop the incipient anode effect. The MEADOW-CRETE
FNP EXT was also used to reinstate the windowsills and to repair
some balcony edges and minor stair concrete deterioration.
MEADOWS MEADOW-CRETE GPS was
approved for the minor spalls and balcony repairs and also to
fill in the keyways cut into the columns to allow placement of
the MEADOW-CRETE FNP EXT into the formed column repairs. Additional
work included the repair of the stucco façade and architectural
coatings. ACRY-LOK was used as the acrylic admixture for the
stucco mix. |
