What Causes Concrete Spalling in High-Rise Buildings?

Concrete spalling is one of the most common and potentially hazardous issues affecting high-rise buildings. While it may initially appear as minor cracking or surface deterioration, untreated spalling can lead to structural damage, falling concrete hazards, water intrusion, and costly repair works.

For building owners, facility managers, and property management teams, understanding the causes of concrete spalling is essential for maintaining building safety and protecting long-term asset value.
