INNOVATION

The age of edified park and its exposure to harsh environments means that the number in buildings affected by serious diseases structure grow up rapidly year after year. Traditional repair techniques are expensive therefore URBANA IDR is committed to innovation, and in this field with the goal of a lasting repair at the lowest possible cost, allowing preventive measures to avoid further damage in the future.

One of the projects within this area is the developing together with the multinational BASF the implementation and monitoring of corrosion inhibitors. The Building Rehabilitation at Torres Blancas in Alicante (K10 Architecture) is an important example of it.

The singular Residential had a concrete cladding severely affected by exposure to the marine environment. The usual action of demolishing and replacing was redesigned in order to achieve significant savings to the owners. In this case we developed monitoring systems of application with photodegradable pigments that provide complete confidence in the work done by its easy testing.

Working with BASF Protectosil CIT is obtaining very good results by allowing demolishing only on the blighted areas and so being able to save the rest. The savings are so great that turns it into an important precedent in the techniques used so far in the repair and protection of concrete.

URBANA IDR Belongs to the ASSOCIATION OF REPAIR, AND PROTECTION OF CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT (Arpho), actively participating in their activities and forums as well as to the CLUB DIR, select group of companies approved by BASF wich allows us access to training and support of the brand as well as to offer our clients a joint product warranty and application.
