Orange Concrete Efflorescence
Orange Concrete Efflorescence
(OP)
Hello All,
Does anybody know why a concrete parking garage beam may be leaching orange efflorescence? I found that multiple of the main framing beams have an orange dust on them, and there are orange drip marks on the ground surface below.

I have a couple theories:
-The project is a LEED Certified project and the original designer may have specified an odd admixture that would be causing the problem.
-Contamination from the form work debonding chemical.
-Thanks for your help
Shane

Its just for a proposal at this point. I'm probably going to add in a line item for testing.
