Structural Reinforcement
Core Builder Group is one of South Florida’s local leaders dedicated to strengthening concrete structures with modern reinforcement systems.
Not every structural problem calls for demolition and rebuilding. When a beam, column, slab, or wall no longer carries the load it needs to, whether from deterioration, a change in use, or design requirements that have evolved since the building went up, structural reinforcement restores that capacity while keeping the existing structure in place. It is often the fastest and least disruptive path to a safe, code-compliant building.
BEST STRUCTURAL & CARBON FIBER REINFORCEMENT EXPERTS IN SOUTH FLORIDA
Strengthen Your Concrete Structure With Carbon Fiber And Engineered Reinforcement
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is one of the most effective tools available for strengthening existing concrete. Carbon fiber fabrics and laminates are bonded directly to the surface of beams, columns, slabs, and walls, adding significant tensile and shear strength with very little added weight or thickness. Because the material is thin and applied externally, it can typically be installed without shutting a building down, and it is highly resistant to the corrosion that attacks conventional steel in a coastal environment. CORE installs these systems in coordination with the engineer of record, following manufacturer specifications for surface preparation, application, and curing.
Our Structural Reinforcement services range from:
- Carbon Fiber (CFRP) Strengthening of Beams, Columns & Slabs
- Column Wrapping & Confinement
- Slab & Balcony Strengthening
- Steel Plate Bonding & Supplemental Steel Framing
- Section Enlargement & Concrete Jacketing
- Corroded Rebar Replacement & Repair
- Temporary Shoring & Load Transfer
- Reinforcement Following Milestone Inspections
Reinforcement is frequently the solution to findings from 40-year recertifications and milestone structural inspections, where an engineer has determined that an element needs additional capacity rather than full replacement. It is also called for when a building’s use changes, when openings are cut through existing slabs or walls, or when past deterioration has reduced the original reinforcing steel. CORE brings the same rigor to reinforcement that we bring to every concrete restoration project, and we would be happy to take on yours, regardless of the size.
