Make OR Break Factor

Due to severe space constraints, conventional systems could not be adapted, and we improvised on the spot.

THE CHALLENGE :

  • The structure had a three-point attack brought about by changes in loading conditions, corrosion in steel reinforcements and de-lamination of concrete.

THE ODDS :

  • The existing structure had already in a distressed condition and repairs had to be carried out under operating conditions.

OUR RESPONSE :

  • The condition of the structure had assessed and a retrofit method had designed
  • The damaged concrete sections were repaired with concrete patches and we then reinforced the structural members externally with fibre-wrapping system
