Retrofitting has become a critical part of modern structural engineering. As infrastructure ages, usage changes and design standards evolve, existing assets must be adapted to…
Across the UK and beyond, many buildings, bridges and industrial structures are approaching or exceeding their original design life. Decades of increased loading, environmental exposure,…
Carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRP) are used across the construction and engineering sectors for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. But what actually gives these materials their…
When your structures show signs of deterioration, finding a repair method that is effective, efficient and non-disruptive is vital. At Composites Construction UK, we specialise…
Concrete structures are designed to last, but over time they can suffer from deterioration, increased load demands or changes in use that require strengthening. One…
Detecting early signs of structural distress is vital to avoiding costly repairs or safety hazards. Fortunately, carbon fibre strengthening offers a minimally invasive way to…
When it comes to strengthening ageing or underperforming concrete structures, two broad approaches dominate the conversation: traditional strengthening techniques and modern fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems.…
When it comes to repairing and strengthening bridges and buildings, finding solutions that are durable, efficient and cost-effective is key. One material that has become…
The UK has a lot of ageing infrastructure, ranging from buildings and bridges to commercial spaces and industrial facilities. Multiple factors have caused these structures…
The construction industry is constantly evolving, with new materials and techniques pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in structural reinforcement. One of the most significant…
