Course description
Every structure build has got a service life, and the service life is dependent on the construction practice, quality of workmanship and various other factors including materials etc.
A building or any structures will show signs of deterioration in early stages, and it is very expensive to repair any structure without knowledge of the type of damage caused.
Thus, any repair/rehabilitation works can be carried out if the nature of damage is known and there are many simple methods of predicting damage and detecting damage.
Even Visual Examination or “Naked Eye”, you can detect a damage, BUT you will need to take proper training for this.
Repairing and rehabilitation is a booming industry, so if you are having plans to change your career, then join this Course to be a part of an Upcoming Advanced Industry in Construction.

Outcome / Qualification etc.
The purpose of Evaluation, Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings as per ACI-562 course is to provide training with:
- Basic and practical methods on concrete repair technology, repair materials, and predict damage.
- Durability of concrete is an important factor, which affect the concrete strength and further leads to damage of the structure, thus proper understanding of the durability factors is a must to prevent damage.
- Repair and rehabilitation adds a huge amount to a cost of a structure, so proper guidance and training is required to use the methods effectively and bring down the cost of the project.
- The purpose of this course is to prepare a trainee to make a decision, whether repair is required or not.
