Eastgate Shopping Centre is located in Inverness and serves as the largest shopping area for the highlands of Scotland. Built in 1983 and extended in 1993 and 2003, the shopping centre now houses a car park with 1350 spaces.


CCCP (Concrete Corrosion Consultancy Practice), were the on-site consultant engineers who tested the car park structure for levels of chloride in the concrete. From their findings, they created the full project specification which recommended the use of Remmers MCI and Remmers Betofix concrete repair systems. Essential works were then carried out to protect the embedded steel reinforcement. Finally a bonding bridge was applied and a new fibre


reinforced slab was laid to protect the concrete from any further damage.


Other concrete repairs were also carried out to the base slab, soffits and columns and all works were successfully completed with minimum disruption to normal retail operations.

In March 2011, following the discovery of localised instances of concrete spalling due to expansive corrosion of the reinforcement bars, Chelmsford Borough Council acted upon professional advice from structural and civil engineers JP Chick to close High Chelmer Car Park and Retail Market to allow significant repairs and a full refurbishment to be completed.


To minimise disruption to shoppers and store owners and ensure the car park could be reopened as quickly as possible, main contractor Gunite (Eastern) Ltd was appointed to complete the £1.6 million phased refurbishment of the car park.


Aiming to reopen the car park fully within 16 weeks, an efficient concrete repair solution with a proven track record was required. With market leading reliability and the ability to exceed the require- ments of BS EN1504, the standard for concrete repair and protection, a complete concrete repair, corrosion management and waterproof decking system from Sika was specified.


Sika, offered a full range solution for the concrete repair corrosion management using a combination of Sika Galvashield XP2 sacrificial anodes, Sika Ferroguard 903 migrating corrosion inhibitor and 120 tonnes of Sika-Armorex Armorcrete flowable micro- concrete.


The car park decks were then waterproofed with 36,000kg of the highly durable and cost effective Sikafloor 161/264 car park inter- deck system - finished in a range of colours to differentiate between each car park section. The soffits and columns were cleaned of contaminants using a jet washing process before being repaired using Sika Monotop 615 concrete repair mortar and coated with an anti-carbonation coating.
