SERVICES
Through integrated technology-driven solutions, Cappa is proud to be an industry leader in infrastructure construction, repair and maintenance to ensure they are designed to be stronger and last longer.
We handle some of the most challenging infrastructure repairs and our proud of our reputation for quality, client satisfaction, and efficient project delivery.
From a project concept, design and analysis stage right through to project sequencing and safety planning – you can count on our team to safely complete projects under the tightest schedules and challenging working conditions.
Concrete Repair
Concrete repair is at the core of our business, as with many materials, concrete can degrade over time due to a number of factors – environmental, insufficient maintenance, impact damage, overloading, shrinkage or chemical attack. The propagation of salts and contaminants into a concrete structure often leads to corrosion of the steel reinforcing. The expansive forces of the corroding steel reinforcement can result in cracking and subsequent delamination of the concrete surface
Our in-house team provides a full turnkey service for concrete repair; from survey and inspection and concrete breakout, to the replacement of corroded reinforcement, reinstatement of concrete and application of corrosion inhibitors.
Concrete repair services offered by Cappa Construction & Maintenance include:
- Survey and inspection
- Manual concrete breakout
- Replacement of corroded reinforcement
- Preparation of steel using abrasive blasting or grinding
- Reinstatement by dry spray concrete
- Reinstatement by hand placement
- Reinstatement using flowable repair materials and formwork
- Application of coatings and corrosion inhibitors
Structural Strengthening
Structural strengthening is the process of upgrading structures to improve performance under existing loads or to increase the strength of structural members to carry additional loads, Cappa Construction & Maintenance are experience in the installation of structural strengthening systems, these include.
Carbon Fibre
Carbon fibre wrapping is used to increase load bearing capacity of concrete beams, columns, slabs and walls, repairing or preventing seismic damage, replace damaged or missing reinforcing steel, it can be used also on new constructions to increase structural load and also provide long – term protection. Quick to install and with minimal impact the successful installation requires experienced and skilled operatives, Cappa Have carried out Installs to CBD Car parks & regional bridge structures.
Plate Bonding
the technique of strengthening a structure by bonding steel plates to the external faces by using epoxy or bolting. Construction & Maintenance skilled team have completed such works on the Sydney harbour bridge and other bridge structures across NSW.

- Bridge Construction Using Fibre Reinforced plastic
- Bridge and wharf carpentry
- Retaining walls / seawalls
- Precision-grouting
- Rail shutdown Works
Joint Repair Systems
An expansion joint or movement joint is an assembly designed to safely absorb the heat – induced expansion and contraction of construction materials, Joints are essential in concrete as it allows slabs to move naturally so as to not crack under the weight.
joints are subject to extreme pressures that the concrete slabs undergo during the weight transfer of heavy loads and vehicular traffic.
Cappa Construction & Maintenance have successfully completed a wide range of joint repair systems, to the sealing of water reservoirs using Hypalon bandage systems, sealing of fuel bonds, Storage tank & the repair of bridge deck movement joints.
Joint Sealing services offered by Cappa Construction & Maintenance include:
- Repair of Expansion-joints
- Bridge Deck Sealing
- Hypalon Bandage Systems
- Instillation of construction & movement joints
- Sealing of Penetrations for fire safety
- Chemical bond Sealing
Protective Coatings
Over time large reinforced steel & concrete assets can suffer damage from; carbon dioxide, water and chloride resulting in corrosion of steel and subsequently loss in structural integrity. To protect these structures, coating systems are an essential to protecting these assets and prolonging their service life.
The most important step in any coating system is the surface preparation, Cappa construction and Maintenance can undertake surface preparation works for both steel & concrete structures, this includes abrasive blasting, grinding, & preparation of surfaces using pneumatic and power tools.
We offer a wide range of services for the coating industry these include:
- Nace Survey & Inspections
- Preparation of surface
- Application of anti- carbonation coating
- Application of corrosion inhibitors
- Application of cementitious coating
- Application of epoxy coating
- Application of elastomeric and flexible coating
Crack Injection
The methodology is used to seal cracks in concrete slabs, walls, masonry, concrete block foundations and other structures, before selecting the materials to used it is important to know if the crack is static or live. If the crack continues to move due to thermal or load conditions then a flexible material will be required in order to maintain the seal. Static cracks can be bonded and sealed by injecting with a rigid material such as epoxy resin.
Cappa Construction & Maintenance are experienced in completing both systems of repair for both epoxy & polyurethane type injection.
Cathodic Protection
Corrosion is an electrochemical process that involves a flow of electrons (the corrosion circuit). Cathodic protection is a means of controlling the corrosion of metal surfaces by stopping the flow of electrons. There are generally two types of cathodic protection systems – Galvanic (sacrificial) and impressed current. Galvanic systems employ reactive metals to protect the metal surface (commonly called sacrificial anodes and are normally aluminium, zinc or magnesium). Impressed current systems use an external power source to provide the electrochemical protection.
Cathodic Protection services offered by Cappa Construction & Maintenance include:
- Sacrificial-anode Instillation
- Impressed-current systems
- Hybrid anode systems
- Ribbon Anode Install
- Marine Anodes Install
- Sacrificial metal coatings
