STRUCTURAL STRENGTHENING PROJECT INSTALLATIONS
VILLAGE OF BATH WTP - Bath, ON
IRVING TISSUE - Toronto, ON
PROJECT INSTALLATIONS: The use of carbon fibre has become ever more prevalent as economies of scale mean manufacturing costs have declined, thus allowing the technology to become more accessible. This has led to a cost effective and reliable technique for the strengthening of Concrete, and Timber elements within buildings and structures. Carbon Fibre Strengthening is now a widely accepted technique for seismic upgrading, locally trimming apertures and restoration of damage/load carrying capacity, including fire damage without adding significant load. Carbon fibre is many times stronger than steel and extremely durable and can therefore be used in some of the most arduous situations without fear of failure. Ease of application is also synonymous with this technology, where its inherent light weight means large and/or long plates can be installed with minimal manpower, simple scaffolding and no lifting equipment.
