REGULATING HEAT DEVELOPMENT IN MASS CONCRETE ELEMENTS

Our experts analyze temperature dissipation in mass concrete elements over time to develop thermal control plans aimed at mitigating early-age cracking and regulating heat of hydration in critical project components.

SUPPORT FOR DEFECTS, DEVIATIONS, VARIABILITY, AND NON-COMPLIANCE

When issues arise during construction, SIMCO can identify the root cause and assess the impact of the defect on the service life of the element and the structure. Our experts review deviation requests and propose corrective actions to ensure compliance with durability requirements, working collaboratively with project stakeholders to minimize schedule impacts.

Our unique expertise supports and represents stakeholders at every stage of construction, including post-construction dispute resolution
