Concrete doesn’t lie. Whether it’s surface spalling, rust stains, or hairline fractures, each imperfection tells a story about how a building has aged, what forces it’s been exposed to, and what might fail next. Learning to read these imperfections can help us prevent aesthetic issues from becoming structural liabilities or small cracks growing into costly repair projects.
Join us for our next TSA Technical Lecture as Borys Gopka, CEO of Tenera, takes us through a one-hour primer specifically designed for architects, engineers and other building professionals looking to better understand what these early signs can tell us about the health of our concrete structures. During this session, we’ll dive into the most common forms of concrete deterioration, how to tell cosmetic flaws from deeper problems, and what symptoms point to underlying causes like corrosion, water ingress, or calcium and hydraulic pocketing. We'll also share some practical ways to extend concrete’s lifespan and repair strategies—including how to make those fixes look seamless through effective colour and texture matching.
