 The aging car park of Bjørnekollen BRL suffered from widespread rebar corrosion which lead to reduced load capability. A well known player in this market recommended demolition of the old car park and then to build a new. With Cathodic Protection (CP), carbon fiber reinforcement, some creativity and a lot of good cooperation the owner saved more than 50% of the cost related to building a new. Of course the repair-project took only a fraction of the time demolition + newbuild would have taken. Now the entire car park can agin be used, including the top-deck that was previously closed due to load-restrictions. Remote monitoring with yearly status reports from the CP installation documents corrosion free concrete in the coming years.
