Course Overview

Concrete structures in power facilities are exposed to demanding environmental and operational conditions that can lead to deterioration, reduced structural performance, and increased maintenance requirements over time. Systematic evaluation and timely rehabilitation are essential to maintain structural integrity, extend service life, and ensure compliance with modern engineering standards and safety regulations.

The Evaluation, Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings as per ACI 562 programme by TransforMentors Academy equips participants with the practical knowledge and technical skills needed to assess, repair, and rehabilitate existing concrete structures in industrial and power facility environments. The course covers structural assessment, deterioration mechanisms, condition surveys, non-destructive testing (NDT), repair material selection, rehabilitation planning, and strengthening techniques in accordance with the principles of ACI 562.

Through practical exercises, real-world case studies, and interactive discussions, participants will learn how to diagnose structural deficiencies, evaluate concrete condition, develop effective repair strategies, select appropriate rehabilitation methods, and manage rehabilitation projects from planning to execution. By the end of the programme, participants will be able to implement reliable, cost-effective, and code-compliant solutions that enhance the safety, durability, and long-term performance of concrete structures.
