CHIC REPUBLIC WAREHOUSE_PHUKET – Structural reinforcement to increase load capacity using SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30.

Project Overview

     The CHIC REPUBLIC WAREHOUSE in Phuket, a major distribution hub for premium furniture and home décor, underwent structural enhancement to increase its load-bearing capacity from 500 kg/m² to 800 kg/m². The retrofit was necessary to accommodate higher inventory loads and operational requirements.

Material Used: SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30

The project utilized SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30, a high-performance Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) sheet designed specifically for slab strengthening.

Key Benefits:

  • Tensile strength exceeding 3,100 MPa
  • Lightweight and quick to apply
  • Enhances flexural and shear performance
  • Resistant to moisture, heat, and chemical exposure

🛠️ Strengthening Process

  1. Structural assessment and load evaluation
  2. Concrete surface preparation for bonding
  3. Application of SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30 using high-grade epoxy adhesive
  4. Final inspection using Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

✅ Project Outcomes

  • Structural load capacity successfully increased to 800 kg/m²
  • Improved safety and performance without demolition
  • Cost-effective strengthening with minimal operational disruption
  • Warehouse now ready to support expanded storage and logistics operations
