Power Plant Exhaust Towers | Structural Reinforcement & Restoration

At the Kos Island Power Plant, the concrete exhaust towers and the northern facade of the supplementary office building exhibited significant damage, with corrosion on plaster surfaces and extensive cracking in the underlying concrete frame. These cracks, along with exposed corroded steel rods, compromised the structures’ stability and frequently led to fragment falls.

To address these issues, the structures were repaired using high-durability cement repair mortars and next-generation corrosion inhibitors. Cracks in the concrete were sealed by pressure-injecting a two-component epoxy resin with specialized high-precision equipment, restoring the structural rigidity of these areas.

The plaster on the facades was repaired with high-durability resin plasters, and the surfaces were repainted with hydrophobic, highly breathable silicon-acrylic paint.

On the exhaust towers specifically, the concrete slabs were reinforced by applying carbon fiber plates (FRP) with a specialized two-component epoxy paste, restoring their load-bearing capacity. Finally, the upper surfaces of the concrete slabs were re-insulated with a next-generation hybrid polyurethane-acrylic UV-resistant coating.
