🧱 Scope of Work and Material Used

✅ Column Reinforcement:

  • Full-height wrapping of each column with SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30
  • A high-performance Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) system
  • Significantly improved shear resistance and moment capacity
  • Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to install

🛠️ Implementation Process

  1. Structural inspection and analysis by engineering team
  2. Surface preparation of concrete columns for optimal adhesion
  3. Installation of SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30 around each column
  4. Quality control through Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

✅ Project Outcomes

  • Enhanced column strength for seismic protection
  • Structural integrity improved without demolition
  • Increased building resilience and safety
  • A durable and efficient solution for industrial infrastructure upgrades
