High Rise Residential Construction

High rise residential apartments have many steel components, such as structural steel, balcony rails, staircases and fire escapes. As most of Australia's population is on or near the coast, heavy duty corrosion protection and UV resistance are essential to minimise maintenance costs. Concrete buildings are prone to concrete spalling due to loss of alkalinity and/or chloride ion ingress, both of which can be prevented by the use of certified anti-carbonation and chloride ion-resistant coating systems.
