As the built environment ages and performance demands increase, traditional approaches to structural strengthening are being reevaluated. Steel plate bonding, concrete jacketing and section enlargement…
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…
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…
As buildings and structures age or sustain damage, costly demolition and rebuild may seem inevitable. However, for a growing number of projects, there’s a smarter…
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.…
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…
With ageing buildings, bridges and other structures facing increasing pressure from environmental conditions and everyday use, innovative reinforcement techniques are essential. Here at Composites Construction…
