Redcliffe, QLD
Redcliffe: peninsula exposure on three sides.
Concrete Cancer Brisbane inspects and repairs concrete in Redcliffe, where the typical buildings are unit blocks, older low-rise buildings and street awnings, and the written scope comes before any repair price.
Redcliffe is a peninsula, so a building can take salt air from more than one direction. Chloride-driven corrosion pits the steel locally and can take significant section from a bar while the surface still looks sound, which is why visual inspection alone is not enough here and half-cell potential testing is worth asking about. A patch repair without anodes in chloride-contaminated concrete can drive new corrosion in a ring around the patch (the incipient anode effect).
| Typical buildings | unit blocks, older low-rise buildings and street awnings |
|---|---|
| Nearest Moreton Bay shore (salt air) | about 0.2 km (straight line) |
| Distance to the Brisbane River | about 19.6 km (straight line) |
| Ground height within 250 m | about 5–14 m above sea level |
| Brisbane CBD | about 28.4 km (straight line) |
| Main streets in the suburb | Oxley Avenue, Anzac Avenue, John Street and Klingner Road |
| Parks in the suburb | Humpybong Park, Captain Cook Park and Settlement Cove Park |
Redcliffe's centre is 0.2 km from the bay, the closest bay reading of any suburb on this site, and well inside AS 3600's 1 km coastal band (class B2). On a peninsula, salt air can reach more than one face of a block, so chloride testing should cover each elevation, not only the one facing the nearest beach. Where chloride is present, patches need anodes, for the reason in the detail above.
Prices are on the cost page and the measuring method is on the about page. Nearest suburbs with a page here: Sandgate (about 11 km), Chermside (about 19 km).
The suburbs below cover the 1960s–80s walk-up belt and the bayside strip, where salt air can reach the steel faster.
Tell us what the concrete is doing. We will inspect it and give your committee a written scope and a quote it can actually vote on.
