We are a certified applicator of the Mbrace Carbon
Fiber Wrap strengthening system. Mbrace systems are
used for earthquake repair and seismic retrofitting,
to upgrade load bearing capacities of concrete and masonry
structures, to restore capacity of concrete structures
lost due to deterioration, and to correct design/construction
errors.
Advantages of this system include:
| • |
Takes up much less space compared to steel. |
| • |
High strength, high stiffness. |
| • |
Lightweight and thin. |
| • |
Highly durable, non-corrosive. |
| • |
Low installation time, and low impact. |
| • |
Able to be installed in areas with limited access. |
| • |
Easy to conceal. |
| • |
Forms around complex surface shape. |
| • |
Cost savings over steel and shotcrete methods. |
  Fiber
reinforced polymer composites have been used for nearly
30 years in aerospace and manufacturing applications
where low weight, high tensile strength, and non-corrosive
structural properties are required. Mbrace is applied
over the substrate with a primer, an epoxy putty filler,
a 1st coat of resin, a fiber reinforcement, a 2nd resin
coating and a final protective coating. The number,
orientation and types of layers of reinforcement are
as designed by our suppliers' structural engineer.

preparation. Come see what we do!
