Assess actual conditions
Existing concrete, building use, exposure, drainage, cracks, joints, previous repairs, contamination, and structural concerns should be understood before selecting an approach.

Outcomes / Durability
Durability
Performance that lasts begins before installation.
Durability is not created by a product or material alone. Long-term performance depends on how a system is assessed, designed, prepared, detailed, installed, used, inspected, and maintained. ICSD brings those factors together to help stakeholders make durability a project objective rather than an assumption.

ICSD approach
How ICSD approaches durability
Prepare properly
For restoration, surface preparation is part of the system. For new construction, coordinated design, quality controls, detailing, and sequencing influence performance.
Match the solution to the use
Industrial, manufacturing, warehousing, municipal, infrastructure, and commercial environments impose different performance demands.
Control installation variables
Materials, workmanship, environmental conditions, documentation, inspection, curing, and quality procedures affect the completed work.
Plan for maintenance
Durability does not mean maintenance-free. Inspection and preventive care allow owners to identify developing conditions earlier.
