The Problems in Hotel Cabana, Florida, USA:
Since the Hotel Cabana, Florida, USA, is near the seashore, structural cracks occurred to RCC members, and reinforcement steel rebars in the concrete were corroded heavily. The hotel authorities needed clarification about how to prevent corrosion and leakage issues.
The hotel’s structure was distressed due to corrosion, leakages, and other associated problems. Significant leakage occurs through the balcony area.
Per the country’s laws, if the structure had to be demolished and rebuilt, sufficient areas would have been lost due to set back.
Fortunately, Sunanda Global came to their rescue with their successful systems.
Application:
Sunanda Global suggested a multi-step methodology to prevent corrosion and leakage problems. The method included the following steps:
- Application of rust remover and passivator
- Application of rust-preventing coating
- Application of acrylic polymer for mortar modification
Conclusion:
Sunanda Global’s suggested system not only prevented further corrosion and leakage but also enhanced the residual life of the surface.
The application of the rust remover and passivator, rust-preventing coating, and acrylic polymer for mortar modification helped combat the existing distress caused by chloride attacks.
This methodology helped Hotel Cabana to maintain the safety of their guests and the integrity of their infrastructure.
