Matcor Inc. has been presented with two Awards of Merit from the International Concrete Repair Institute for the company’s corrosion mitigation work in central Florida.
ICRI’s Industrial Award of Merit was presented for Matcor’s work with the NASA Vehicle Assembly Building’s concrete roof, in Cape Canaveral, Fla. The organization’s Low-Rise Restoration Award of Merit was presented for Matcor’s work on a four-story concrete condominium in St. Petersburg’s Point Pass-A-Grille community. Both awards recognize the technical excellence and cutting-edge corrosion prevention guaranteed by Matcor.
NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building renovation required corrosion protection engineering on a massive scale. The building, about the size of four Empire State Buildings, needed Matcor’s cathodic protection to preserve the integrity of its 215,000-square-foot concrete roof.
The 10,950-square-foot Point Pass-A-Grille, an oceanfront condominium building in St. Petersburg, Fla., needed rehabilitation of its conventionally reinforced concrete balconies, walkways and stairwells. Removing and replacing the contaminated concrete was determined to be a costly, short-term solution. The condominium board opted to integrate Matcor’s CPBD System-III impressed current with conductive coating system on three levels.
