Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer
ESPT offers range of Strengthening solutions for buildings or civil applications, these includes 1-External posttensioning 2-Carbon Fiber Reinforced polymer
Carbon Fiber In situations where conventional strengthening systems such as external post-tensioning, section enlargement, or general repairs will not provide the necessary support, carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) systems can often be the solution.
CFRP is used to add or restore capacity to a structure or member for buildings and civil applications for bridge structures, this can include AASHTO girders, columns, and pier caps. Additionally, there are a range of commercial applications, including reinforcement for high-rise buildings, seismic protection for parking structures, and increased loading capacity for other buildings.
CFRP provides a state-of-the-art option for reinforcing structures through advanced composite materials. The material offers unparalleled strength and support, enabling structures to withstand even the most compromised conditions. Its high tensile strength and stiffness mean that it can provide superior reinforcement without the added weight and bulk of other systems. CFRP's lightweight and easy-to-work-with properties make it a prime choice for complex or hard-to-reach structures.
Product Features & Benefits
- Cost-effective compared to traditional strengthening systems in many cases
- Can extend the lifespan of structures by preventing further damage and deterioration

- Can be surface applied or near surface mounting (NSM) embedment, to suit all applications
External Posttensioning
External post-tensioning, applied outside the concrete surface, enhances structural reinforcement by introducing compression force through anchorage blocks. This method significantly improves the structure's bending capacity and shear strength. It is active immediately upon implementation.
External post-tensioning provides active strengthening non-invasively, minimizing disruptions to traffic during the installation process. This efficiency ensures that your operations continue smoothly while we work to reinforce your structure.
