Near Surface Mounted Reinforcement

NSM is can be used to strengthen reinforced concrete structures to increase flexural capacity. A small channel is cut into the concrete and a carbon fibre bar is then bonded into the channel using a structural adhesive.

CFRP Plate Bonding Systems

CFRP Plate Bonding products are typically used for flexural strengthening of reinforced concrete structures. The primary suppliers and there relevant systems for Carbon Fibre Plate Bonding systems in the UK are listed below; Mapei – CFRP (Caron Fibre) Plate Bonding System – Carboplate and MapeWrap 11 and MapeWrap 12 Plate – Mapei Carboplate Product Data…

UHM Carbon Fibre Plate Bonding for Cast Iron and Steel Structures

UHM (Ultra High Modulus) Carbon Fibre Plates are generally used to strengthen metallic structures such as cast iron, steel and wrought iron. The primary supplier and there associated systems are listed below; Sika Mapei Weber
