Make OR Break Factor

Construction of the remaining 8 floors continued unabated with a floor being added every 20 days, the additional weights of which had to be factored in, into our retrofit method.

THE CHALLENGE :

  • Stability of a residential high-rise was suffering from non-hydrated concrete that offered only 40% of its desired strength on the 15th and 16th floors.

THE ODDS :

  • To facilitate work and the repair of external RCC members, we had to project scaffolding from the 15th and 16th floors of the building.

OUR RESPONSE :

  • Post a detailed inspection of the structure, the cause of failure was analyzed and ascertained, and the following steps were taken:
  • Trials were conducted on site, as we designed and modified material and methodology to achieve the desired strength
  • Grouting and surface saturating of the RCC members with monomers was carried out
  • RCC members were reinforced externally with a fibre wrapping system
