Car Parks

Car parks, including basements below the water table, are exposed to continuous traffic, moisture, and environmental contaminants that can lead to corrosion, cracking, and concrete deterioration.

Regular evaluation is essential to maintain safety and serviceability.

Two construction workers in safety vests and helmets working on underground car park, installing equipment on concrete floor near parked cars.

Vector Corrosion supports car parks through:

Structural and durability assessments of reinforced concrete systems
Non-destructive testing to document existing conditions and as-built details
Corrosion investigations, mapping and evaluation of deterioration mechanisms
Material testing to assess concrete quality and contamination
Specification and supervision of remedial works to address substructure leakage
Design and supply of cathodic protection and corrosion mitigation systems
QA/QC services to ensure proper installation and performance of systems
Specialist consulting for repair and maintenance planning

VCME completed a comprehensive leakage investigation and condition assessment across multiple basement parcels at King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The assessment covered Parcel 4.07/4.08, 2.05, 2.09, 4.03, 4.11, and 5.03 and combined visual inspections, field testing, water sampling, moisture analysis, chloride and sulfate testing, impact ehco/pulse velocity testing, and ground penetrating radar (GPR) measurements to evaluate water ingress and related deterioration.
