About the Assessment & Repair of Reinforced Concrete Structure Course

Time Training Center's 5-day/30-hour "Assessment & Repair of Reinforced Concrete Structures" course offers a practical, hands-on approach to evaluating and restoring concrete assets. It equips you with the knowledge and skills to diagnose deterioration, select advanced repair methods, and implement robust maintenance strategies.

The course explores the root causes of structural degradation, especially corrosion of reinforcing steel, and introduces modern protective techniques such as cathodic protection and advanced coatings. You can learn advanced diagnostic methods, including visual inspections, non-destructive testing (NDT), ultrasonic, and infrared techniques, to accurately assess damage and develop effective repair plans. You can also gain practical expertise in selecting repair materials and applying strengthening solutions like Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP).

Using conceptual learning, interactive workshops, and real-world case studies, our course helps professionals identify structural issues and assess risks with confidence. It emphasizes cost-effective, durable repairs and maintenance planning, including risk-based inspection (RBI) frameworks, to ensure long-term integrity and reliability of reinforced concrete structures.
