Makro Nakornsawan –Structural Strengthening to Increase Load Capacity to 1,000 kg/m²
Project Overview
Makro Nakhon Sawan, a high-traffic wholesale center, required structural upgrades to enhance the load-bearing capacity from 600 kg/m² to 1,000 kg/m². To meet this objective, advanced Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) technology was deployed, providing strength, durability, and non-invasive reinforcement solutions.
