Building Protection

Structural Strengthening

Carbon fibre, steel plate and section enlargement solutions for increased loads.

The engineering brief

What structural strengthening involves

Change of use, added plant loads or design deficiencies often require strengthening rather than replacement.

Our engineers assess capacity and design a strengthening scheme with CFRP laminates, plate bonding or jacketing, executed with full QA.

Our process

How we deliver structural strengthening

Site Survey

Moisture mapping, substrate testing and photographic condition survey of every affected area.

Technical Proposal

Specification, system build-up, quantities and programme issued with consultant-ready documentation.

Surface Preparation

Mechanical grinding, shot blasting or high-pressure cleaning to achieve the specified profile.

System Application

Certified applicators install the approved system in controlled lifts with wet-film thickness checks.

Testing & Handover

Flood testing, adhesion pull-off tests, as-built records and a written warranty.
