Concrete Repairs
We work closely with Structural Repairs to ensure the highest standards in concrete reinforcement using Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). Structural Repairs specialises in scanning and assessing the condition of concrete structures, identifying areas that require reinforcement. Leveraging their expertise and the advanced Fortress ReGrid technology, we take over the next phase by surveying, designing, and inspecting the installation of CFRP systems.
Resin Matrix
One of the key factors that contribute to the superior performance of CFRP is the embedment of carbon fibres within a resin matrix.
This combination not only harnesses the incredible tensile strength of carbon fibres but also provides flexibility and durability through the resin. The resin matrix binds the fibres together, distributing loads effectively and ensuring that the material can withstand various stresses over time. This makes CFRP an ideal solution for reinforcing structures in environments where traditional materials like steel may fall short due to corrosion or excessive weight.
Lightweight | High Strength
CFRP can be utilised in a variety of structural applications, including bridges, buildings, tunnels, and other critical infrastructure. Its lightweight nature and high strength make it particularly beneficial in retrofitting and strengthening older structures without adding significant weight.
For building owners, the use of CFRP offers several advantages, such as
- extended structure lifespan
- reduced maintenance costs, and
- enhanced safety
By opting for CFRP reinforcement, building owners can address structural vulnerabilities efficiently, minimising downtime and disruption while ensuring long-term durability.
This collaborative approach between our team and Structural Repairs ensures that the reinforcement process is both efficient and effective, providing durable and reliable solutions for strengthening existing structures.
Whether it’s addressing specific structural weaknesses or enhancing the overall integrity of a building, CFRP offers a versatile and robust solution that meets the needs of modern construction and repair projects.
