Composite Strengthening

Following a comprehensive survey of the root cause of degradation, a Structural Renovations approved engineer will analyse the construction of the structure, its current integrity, and any surrounding conditions.

Every possible risk to any prescribed works is calculated, and the feasibility and costs of the remedial composite strengthening is outlined before works commence.

“An excellent service all round from initial visit to completion of the works.”

— Ken Paul, Engineer, KRP Consulting.

Composite Strengthening By Trained Operatives

Works undertaken by the Structural Renovations team will also include the removal of any defective areas of concrete, preparation of exposed steel reinforcement, and concrete reinstatement too.

What does a composite strengthening solution typically involve?

Initial ‘Feasibility & Cost Analysis’ survey. To identify the works required and provide costings.
The removal of existing concrete. Using suitable breakers.
Preparation of affected areas. Correct surface preparation is key to a successful installation. Grit and dry ice blasting, water jetting, floor planing and scabbling can all ensure existing surfaces, and concrete substrates are fully prepared for subsequent operations.
Concrete Reinstatement. Whether it’s hand applied on smaller areas, sprayed or flowable mortar for larger volumes, our operatives will ensure the substrate is adequately finished.

Composite Strengthening Systems

As approved Sika, Weber and Mapei installers, the Structural Renovations team offer a range of specialist systems to future-proof structures.

There are numerous proven uses for the specialist products we use, including:

To increase the loading capacity of an existing structure, where a change of use may have occurred.
To reinforce new service voids in a structure or building, such as wet or dry riser shafts.
To repair poorly or insufficiently reinforced concrete, on old or new structures, to avoid costly demolition and propping.
Carbon fibre rods can be used instead of traditional mild steel, where future corrosion is to be avoided, such as on coastal or marine structures.

During refurbishments where upgrading is required, due to a change of a building's use, or where additional service holes are to be cut, a composite strengthening system can be particularly cost-effective.

Alongside our installation services, we offer a full Feasibility & Cost Analysis design service to ensure you are given the best options for your building - and budget.
