Project Details

Project: Gillete Reading
Client: Procter and Gamble
Contract Duration: 6 Weeks
Scope of Work: Carbon Fibre Strengthening and Concrete Repairs

Possibly dating back to 1914 this concrete framed masonry listed building was being refurbished as part of a larger expansion scheme. Working with the clients structural engineer CCUK designed and installed a Fibrewrap Carbon Fibre Strengthening System to all of the concrete beams within Building D.

The beams were strengthened for both shear and flexure by applying carbon fibre strengthening to the tops, bottoms and in a U wrap direction over a 6 week period.

CCUK then carried out extensive concrete repair works internally and externally.
