Advantages of Horse FRP Composite Strengthening System

1 Horse wrap provides significant ease and flexibility of installation over steel and other repair options

Can be installed on complex geometries in any direction

It can be installed on site, installed immediately, or installed within a long time after the structural components are installed

Due to easy installation, it is often a lower total cost alternative to steel and other materials

Ease of installation translates to faster progress and provides cost-saving advantages

The building occupies a small area and does not require heavy equipment, which provides advantages for the owner

2 Horse wrap increases the shear, bending and axial strength of structural members, and improves ductility and seismic performance

Wide range of uses. Can be used for various structural members, including columns, beams, walls and floors, to restore and/or improve capacity and ductility

Lightweight. The material strengthens the structure members and the overall weight does not affect the structure

Thin. Low-profile systems, usually 1 mm or less, allow FRP to be installed in the smallest affected area

3 Horse wrap material is environmentally friendly and has long durability

Provides 50-year long-term durability evaluation

Materials can be installed in active commercial, institutional and industrial environments to maximize the continuous operation of owners
