Structural strengthening describes the process of upgrading the structural system of an existing structure to improve performance under existing loads or to increase the strength of structural components to carry additional loads.
The need for strengthening may arise from deterioration, change in use, change in building code/standards, structural defects, construction errors, or seismic conditions.
Each structure requiring upgrade and strengthening presents a unique challenge. Whether strengthening commercial, civil, industrial structures and bridges, NCS is capable of providing the most suitable industry-leading technologies/solutions.
The structural strengthening capabilities of NCS extend to externally bonded Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) products that significantly increase a structures load-bearing capacity. NCS is able to apply a wide range of FRP wraps and laminate strips, to a variety of structures requiring strengthening.
