Middlesbrough grew on heavy industry, and Teesside remains one of the UK’s most important industrial areas. Chemical processing, port activity, engineering and energy projects all depend on concrete that is expected to perform under conditions far harsher than a typical commercial building ever experiences.

Away from the industrial estates, the town also has its share of ageing housing, car parks, retail centres and public buildings, many of them exposed to cold winds and wet weather coming in off the North Sea.

Apolodor LTD provides specialist concrete repairs in Middlesbrough for industrial operators, facilities managers, contractors and property owners. We approach every structure by asking what it is exposed to, because that is what determines whether a repair will last.

Chemical Exposure and Aggressive Ground

On process sites, concrete can be attacked by acids, alkalis, salts and contaminated groundwater. Damage may show as softened surfaces, exposed aggregate, expansion cracking or unexplained loss of section.

Where ground conditions are part of the problem, understanding how to deal with sulphate attack in concrete structures is often the first step to choosing materials that will not suffer the same fate as the original concrete.

Sumps, Pits and Drainage Channels

Process sites depend on sumps, pits and drainage channels that stay wet and are often exposed to aggressive liquids. Cracks and failed joints let contaminated water escape into the ground and speed up deterioration of the surrounding concrete.

We seal cracks using crack injection techniques in concrete repair suited to wet, moving conditions, then reinstate damaged sections with repair materials chosen for the chemical exposure.

Concrete After a Fire

Industrial sites carry a higher risk of fire, and concrete that has been through one may look serviceable while having lost significant strength in its outer layers. Colour changes, spalling and cracking all give clues to the temperatures reached.

We work alongside structural engineers to assess and repair fire-damaged concrete, removing weakened material and reinstating sections so the structure can safely return to use.

Floors, Walkways and Access Routes

Plant floors, gantries and walkways need to be safe as well as strong. Contaminated or worn surfaces quickly become slip hazards, so we often combine repairs with choosing a slip-resistant coating for industrial areas suited to the substances and traffic involved.

Working Around Live Operations

Shutdown windows on Teesside sites are valuable and often short. We plan around them carefully, prepare materials and access in advance, and phase the work so critical areas return to use as early as possible. Our approach to minimising downtime during commercial concrete repairs is built for exactly these situations.
