Structural Strengthening in Concrete Repair
Structural strengthening, restoring and adding capacity, is an integral part of today’s concrete repair industry. Structural strengthening may be required for increasing load capacity of beams, columns, walls, and/or slabs, seismic retrofitting, supporting additional live or dead loads not included in original design, to relieve stresses generated by design or construction errors, or to restore original load capacity to damaged structural elements.
As an expert concrete company, we are a recognized leader in the research and development of the structural strengthening technology. Our engineers are actively involved in the acceptance of this technology through associations. Over the years we have initiated, supported and completed numerous research and test projects, together with research staff from various universities, that has lead to the currently accepted design guidelines and building and bridge codes.
Along with the more conventional strengthening approach, where additional reinforcing steel is added to the structural element by increasing its concrete cross section, we are an expert for selecting and installing the right strengthening system for the job.
We are a concrete company offering structural strengthening and concrete repair services to clients throughout Singapore.
Structural Strengthening System
The use of a building or civil engineering structure may change throughout the course of its service life, as for example its whole function can change, loads can increase and/or higher building standards are required and the structure must be made compliant. We provide fully comprehensive solutions with complete systems for all kinds of structural strengthening and improvement. Whether increasing the bending, shear or impact resistance, tested and proven Our structural strengthening systems are available for use on reinforced concrete, steel, wood and masonry load-bearing structures.
Typical Application
- Column Strengthening
- Beam Strengthening
- Pre-Stressed Strengthening
- Seismic Upgrading / Earthquake Damage Repair
- Increasing Impact Resistance
- Crack Prevention / Reduction
Proven Performance and Durability
Our Structural Strengthening Systems have been tested extensively internally and externally, under many different conditions to ensure their long-term performance in different environments for:
- Long-term fatigue
- Artificial Ageing
- Exposure in alkaline environments
- Installation under dynamic load
The completion of countless individual large and small projects over the last decades demonstrates the performance, reliability and durability of our Strengthening Systems. This is quality you can trust.
