FidStrong provides dedicated engineering support to help project owners, consultants, and contractors achieve optimal reinforcement outcomes. Our in-house structural engineers bring decades of combined experience in composite materials and can assist at every stage of your project, from preliminary feasibility studies to detailed design documentation.
Whether you are reinforcing an aging concrete bridge, upgrading a commercial building to meet new seismic codes, or repairing deteriorated industrial structures, our team ensures you select the right system and apply it correctly the first time.
Our engineers perform comprehensive structural analysis to determine the precise reinforcement requirements for your project. This includes evaluating existing structural capacity, identifying deficiencies, and calculating the number of CFRP fabric layers or plate dimensions needed to meet the target load-bearing performance.
Design calculations are carried out in accordance with internationally recognized standards including ACI 440.2R, TR55, fib Bulletin 14, and CNR-DT 200. We also offer access to our proprietary FRP Designer software, enabling rapid preliminary sizing and cost estimation before the project moves to the detailed design phase.
FidStrong engineers are available for on-site visits to assess existing structural conditions, evaluate substrate preparation requirements, and supervise critical installation phases. Our field presence helps bridge the gap between design intent and construction reality, reducing the risk of rework and ensuring the reinforcement system performs as designed.
During on-site consultations, we provide guidance on surface preparation methods, ambient condition monitoring, adhesive mixing procedures, and quality control checkpoints. Our goal is to ensure every installation meets the performance specifications documented in our technical data sheets.
Selecting the right reinforcement system depends on many factors: the type of structural element, the nature of the deficiency, environmental exposure, access constraints, and the required service life. FidStrong engineers evaluate all of these variables and recommend the most effective and cost-efficient application method for your specific situation.
From wet lay-up CFRP fabric wrapping for flexural and shear strengthening, to externally bonded plate systems for long-span beams, to FRCM systems for heritage structures requiring breathable reinforcement, we guide you to the solution that delivers the best long-term performance and value.
