Concrete cancer is one of the most common and costly issues affecting ageing high-rise buildings across New South Wales. From strata apartment blocks to commercial towers, once concrete begins to crack, spall, or expose reinforcing steel, the problem spreads quickly. The earlier it is identified and repaired, the lower the long-term impact on safety, appearance, and asset value.
At CPR, we specialise in diagnosing, repairing, and preventing concrete cancer, offering complete solutions through our facade remediation and preservation services across difficult‑access buildings using Scaffold-Free™ technology. Our approach combines rope-based access with advanced inspection processes to accurately map deterioration and deliver long-term remediation solutions.
Concrete cancer begins when steel reinforcement within the concrete is exposed to moisture, salty air, carbonation, or poor waterproofing. As the steel corrodes, it expands and creates pressure within the concrete, eventually causing:
Understanding the concrete cancer cause is essential for any strata or building manager trying to protect their property. In coastal areas and older structures—especially high-rise buildings—this deterioration accelerates considerably.
