The paper presents an example of a structure exposed for a long period of time to the action of several aggressive factors: alternate freezing and thawing, efflorescence and carbonation. Representative samples were taken from the concrete structure of the facility, and the relevant properties of concrete were identified in the laboratory. The analysis of the collected data demonstrated significant deficiencies of the implemented concrete technology during construction of the facility. On this basis, a plan for restoration of the facility was made, and the restoration was accomplished, revitalizing the facility. This example too, demonstrates that implementation of new standards in the field of concrete technology is necessary.
