NEW Horse Construction Pre-stress CFRP plate: structural strengthening using carbon fibre reinforced polymer plates

What is pre-stress strengthening?

Pre-stress involves using prestress head to strengthen, reinforce, and rehabilitate damaged concrete structures. Pre-stressstrengthening works by anchoring tensioned head in structural forms (mechanisms that provide stability to a structure) before applying concrete.

Pre-stress strengthening is a long-lasting and straightforward approach for the reinforcement of:

• Concrete buildings

• Concrete bridges

• Infrastructure

• Power stations

• Sewer works & manholes

Advantages of Pre-stress CFRP plate:

• Extremely durable

• High strength

• High-fatigue resistance

• Immune to corrosion

What is the purpose of prestress CFRP?

Prestress CFRP provides an efficient remedy to damaged existing buildings, structures, and infrastructure caused by:

▪ Corrosion and weathering

▪ Change in use

▪ Structural failings

▪ Insufficient reinforcement

▪ Excessive deflection

▪ Fire

▪ Complete seismic upgrade

Which structural elements are compatible with our prestress CFRP systems?

Bridge strengthening

Strengthening of industrial and high-rise buildings (such as slab and beam strengthening)
