Common problems with industrial and commercial docks
-
Surface damage
Industrial and commercial docks often experience surface damage, such as cracks, potholes, and erosion. These issues can result from heavy use, exposure to harsh weather conditions, and the constant movement of heavy equipment and vehicles. If not addressed promptly, surface damage can create safety hazards and disrupt operations.

Weather-related damage
Docks are exposed to various weather conditions, including rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. Weather-related damage, such as rust, corrosion, and water infiltration, jeopardizes the structural integrity of the dock and its equipment. This type of damage requires regular inspection and maintenance to prevent long-term issues.
