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 columns. This is a very cost effective method for structural strengthening where a structure is required to carry increased loads or where the structures design is inadequate. Carbon fibre is woven into in a matrix of Polymer Resin to form the material and its properties are dependent on the ratio of fibre to polymer as well as the structure of the matrix. This material is very light weight as it has a high strength to weight ratio.

Rimab's are experienced in the application of CFRP plates, strips and wrap to the structural strengthening of building structures. Rimab's install the CFRP in accordance with the design prepared by Qualified Structural Engineers.
