Title:

Prestressing Technology for CFRP Application
Value Proposition:
With growing needs for structural repair, our innovative pre-stressed CFRP laminate system offers a superior solution for strengthening concrete structures. Unlike traditional FRP applications that utilize only ~30% of tensile capacity, this system uses a mechanical anchorage to actively prestress CFRP laminates, maximizing performance. Key Benefits:
  1. Enhances strength, durability, and crack resistance.
  2. Utilizes full tensile capacity of CFRP.
  3. Fast, cost-effective, and easy to apply.
  4. Extends service life of RC structures.
  5. A smart, high-impact solution for efficient and durable infrastructure rehabilitation.
Summary Application:

Strengthening and retrofitting of Structural members/ Buildings/ Bridges etc.
Advantages:
  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio.
  • Maximized Material Utilization.
  • Improved Structural Durability.
  • Corrosion Resistance.
  • Rapid & User-Friendly Application.
  • Innovative Anchorage System.
