Extending the life of your structures through expert concrete diagnosis and repair.
Concrete deterioration left untreated leads to structural failure. MBO RENOV specialises in the diagnosis and repair of reinforced concrete for buildings, bridges, retaining walls and industrial structures across Belgium and Northern France. We identify the root cause - carbonation, chloride ingress, freeze-thaw damage or alkali-silica reaction - and apply the right repair strategy to restore structural integrity.
Our team uses non-destructive testing methods including rebound hammer, cover-meter surveys and carbonation-depth measurement to assess damage accurately before any work begins. Repair specifications follow European standards (EN 1504) to ensure long-term durability. From localised patch repairs to full structural strengthening with carbon-fibre reinforcement, we have the expertise and equipment to handle projects of any complexity.
We begin with a detailed condition survey, mapping every crack, spall and area of delamination. A diagnostic report identifies the deterioration mechanism and recommends the most cost-effective repair method. Work is carried out in strict accordance with EN 1504, with each repair stage documented. After completion you receive a full report including test results and maintenance recommendations.
Warning signs include visible cracks, rust stains from reinforcement, spalling (pieces of concrete breaking away), water infiltration and hollow sounds when tapping the surface. A professional survey will confirm the extent of damage.
In most cases, yes. Targeted repair and strengthening can restore a structure to its original load-bearing capacity at a fraction of the cost of demolition and reconstruction.
When carried out to EN 1504 standards with quality materials, concrete repairs typically last 25 years or more. We also provide maintenance schedules to maximise the lifespan of every intervention.
