Project Details

Project: Swansea University

Client: KQL/Vinci UK

Contract Duration: 3 weeks

Scope of Works: Concrete repair and slab strengthening with Carbon Fibre fabrics.

A brand new campus still under construction by Vinci suffered from a small fire within one of the pre-cast concrete accommodation blocks. Extensive damage was caused to the slabs that resulted in spalling concrete and loss of strength. CCUK (Fibrwrap) were commissioned by Keegan Pre-cast from Ireland to repair the concrete with a high strength polymer modified mortar and apply our Carbon Fibre strengthening system to replace the losses.
