SMOOT LIFE TOWER – Structural Reinforcement of Parking Deck for Data Center Function
Project Overview
SMOOT LIFE TOWER, a high-rise commercial building in Bangkok, underwent a strategic retrofit of its car park structure to support the transition into a high-load Data Center facility. This upgrade was essential to meet the demanding load and safety requirements of modern IT infrastructure.
Materials Used: SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30 STRENGTHENING
The chosen solution was SMARTFIBER-SHEET UT70-30, a high-performance unidirectional carbon fiber sheet known for:
- Exceptional tensile strength (>3,100 MPa)
- High flexibility for diverse surface geometries
- Corrosion resistance for long-term reliability
- Effective in boosting shear and flexural performance
🛠️ Installation Process
- Concrete surface preparation and cleaning
- Application of the fiber sheet using epoxy adhesive
- Final inspection with non-destructive testing (NDT) to ensure strength and integrity
✅ Results and Benefits
- Increased live load and shear capacity of the parking deck
- No major demolition required
- Structural transformation completed within tight timelines
- Infrastructure fully prepared to support Data Center operations
