Fibre Wrap Concrete (FRP Wrapping)

Fibre Wrap Concrete (FRP Wrapping)
Fibre Wrap, also known as FRP (Fiber-Reinforced Polymer) wrapping, is a cutting-edge structural strengthening technology for retrofitting and reinforcing concrete structures including columns, beams, and slabs. High-strength carbon or glass fiber sheets are wrapped around the framework and bonded using epoxy resins. This approach considerably increases the member's tensile strength, ductility, and load-bearing capability without adding extra weight or changing the geometry. FRP wrapping is particularly useful for seismic retrofitting, corrosion resistance, and updating structures to meet current design regulations. It is a rapid, non-invasive approach that reduces downtime while providing long-term strength gains.

Advantages of Fibre Wrap Concrete (FRP Wrapping):

• Increases the strength and ductility of concrete.
• Lightweight, less invasive.
• Ideal for seismic improvement and corrosion resistance.
• Quick installation with minimum interruption.
• Excellent durability and chemical resistance.
• Preserves the original size and elegance.
• Ideal for difficult forms and locations.
• Extends the life of old or under-designed buildings.
