Insufficient cover for concrete column
Insufficient cover for concrete column
(OP)
Hi
I have a column that for one reason or another has insufficient cover to the reinforcement. I am saying that it is non compliant because durability, fire rating and strength are compromised. The cover required is 1-1/2" and the as built cover is 1/2". They are not going to like it when I tell them to knock it down and try again so what are the other options to provide additional fire rating. It is a carpark so plenty of exhaust fumes and I am willing to accept that paint will provide the protection for durability.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.

While not as drastic as ripping down the column, having to buy and apply 15 or so gallons of that stuff ought to give the contractor something to remember.
