- Remove redundancies and unclear language
- Bridge engineering and contractor language and processes
- Identify standard tests and field observations required to achieve performance-based specifications
Assessment and Selection of Concrete Repair Materials
- Evaluate repair products submitted by contractors for compatibility with purpose, repair environment, schedule, durability, and mechanical properties
- Review concrete mix designs for compatibility with conveyance methods, placement methods, time of set, and durability
- Recommend or review product submittals for curing compounds, integral waterproofing, sealers, and densifiers
- Recommendations of type and dose of fiber to replace or supplement reinforcing steel for unreinforced, plain concrete structures
Third-party Response and Review for Concrete and General Contractors
- Advocate for contractor-proposed construction methodology to EOR and owner
- Embed with design-build teams for thermal control, crack mitigation of large foundations, walls, or tanks, and service life design
- Review, response, and solutions for non-compliance citations
- Review or rewriting of hot or cold weather or mass concrete placing protocols
Diagnosis of Concrete Infrastructure Failures
Scaling, spalling, delamination, low-strength, high air, low air, freezing, D-cracking, plastic shrinkage cracking, restrained volume change cracking, curling, warping, pop-outs, freeze-thaw distress, over loading, alkali-silica reaction, delayed ettringite formation, honeycombing, cold joints, aggregate shadowing, poor drainage, loss of aggregate interlock, loss of load transfer across joints, moisture vapor emissions, restraint, and corrosion of reinforcing steel.
