Coastal Construction Challenges

The Silent Threat: Battling Corrosion in Jeddah and Dammam

Buildings in Saudi Arabia’s coastal cities face a dual threat: high humidity and chloride (salt) ingress. This combination leads to Carbonation, where the protective pH of concrete drops, causing the steel reinforcement to expand and burst the concrete cover.

The BSCO Coastal Defense System

We provide a multi-layered defense:

• Capillary Waterproofing: Blocking the pores of the concrete to prevent salt-laden water from entering.
• Protective Coatings: High-performance barriers that resist sulfate and chloride attacks.
