Carbon Fibre for Superior Concrete Beam Reinforcement
When it comes to reinforcing concrete beams, the choice between carbon fibre and steel plate holds significant implications for structural durability, performance, and long-term maintenance. While both materials offer reinforcement solutions, carbon fibre emerges...
How to Strengthen Concrete Structures?
Despite its durable nature, concrete it is not unalterable and can be damaged over time. The environment to which it is subjected (rainwater, ice, seawater, pollution, etc.) play a big role on concrete deterioration, and can cause corrosion, structural damage,...
What is Carbon Fibre Structural Strengthening?
Carbon fibre reinforced polymer is an extremely strong and very durable material which is applied externally to strengthen concrete structures without the need to demolish and replace the existing structure such as concrete beams, suspended slabs and structural...

What Is Elastomeric Concrete?
Elastomeric Concrete is a flexible 2-part polyurethane patching material mixed with aggregates and can be used as a filler in expansion joints which experience large movements. The properties which are most important for these materials are flexibility,...
Concrete Crack Injection
Cracks in concrete need to be repaired as they are a potential threat to the viability of the steel reinforcement within the concrete structure due to the ingress of water. Water quickly causes the internal reinforcement to corrode, expand and cause the encasing...
A Truism: Modern Concrete Cracks and Concrete Leaks!
There are four types of concrete! Concrete that can crack! Concrete that has cracked! Concrete that can leak! Concrete that has leaked! Truism: This observation is obviously true and says nothing new or even interesting about concrete but if you have a problem and...
