Building Strengthening

Aging buildings, changes in occupancy loading, and evolving building codes often require structural upgrades that traditional methods cannot deliver without significant disruption. FidStrong's carbon fiber reinforcement systems allow engineers to increase the load-bearing capacity of concrete beams, slabs, columns, and walls while adding minimal thickness and weight to the existing structure.

Our CFRP fabric wrapping system is ideal for column confinement and flexural strengthening, while pultruded carbon fiber plates provide a fast, efficient solution for beam soffit reinforcement. For heritage buildings where vapor permeability is important, our FRCM system offers a compatible and reversible strengthening approach.

Bridge & Infrastructure

Bridges, tunnels, retaining walls, and other infrastructure assets face increasing demands from heavier traffic loads, environmental degradation, and extended service life expectations. FidStrong provides carbon fiber reinforcement solutions that restore and enhance the structural capacity of these critical assets without the need for costly replacement or extended traffic disruptions.

Our pultruded plate systems are widely used for bridge girder strengthening, delivering high tensile capacity in a thin, lightweight profile that can be installed rapidly with minimal lane closures. CFRP fabric wrapping is applied to bridge piers and abutments for shear and confinement strengthening, while our crack injection and repair systems address deterioration before it compromises structural integrity.

Seismic Retrofitting

Structures in earthquake-prone regions require reinforcement systems that can absorb and redistribute seismic energy without brittle failure. FidStrong's CFRP confinement wrapping significantly increases the ductility and shear capacity of concrete columns, enabling them to withstand lateral forces well beyond their original design parameters.

Carbon fiber fabric applied in the hoop direction around rectangular and circular columns creates a confining effect that prevents concrete crushing and lap-splice failure during seismic events. Combined with our chemical anchoring systems for adding supplementary reinforcement and connection details, FidStrong products provide a comprehensive seismic retrofit solution that can be installed while the building remains occupied.

Industrial Structures

Industrial facilities such as factories, warehouses, power plants, and water treatment facilities operate under demanding conditions including heavy machinery loads, chemical exposure, vibration, and thermal cycling. FidStrong's carbon fiber reinforcement systems are engineered to perform reliably in these environments, providing long-term structural upgrades without interrupting production operations.

Our systems are used to strengthen floor slabs for increased equipment loads, reinforce storage tank walls, upgrade crane beam capacity, and repair deteriorated concrete in chemical processing environments. The lightweight nature of carbon fiber reinforcement eliminates the need for heavy lifting equipment during installation, reducing both project cost and downtime in operating industrial facilities.
