Elimination of Rupture of Concrete and Corrosion of Reinforcement, Strengthening of Constructions

Having worked as an engineer in a company that produces reinforced concrete structures, I never dreamed that there would come a time when the usual composition of metal reinforcement and reinforced concrete would receive another component, which until recently was difficult to imagine in construction. I will narrate this case in a hurry. For a dozen years of activity, the construction company received a lot of positive feedback, but negative opinions were also heard. However strong the concrete material is, because of improper exploitation, concrete sometimes crumbles and loses its constructive integrity.

One day I got an advertisement about the fact that some engineering firm started offering services for renewal and repair of reinforced concrete with carbon fiber. By the results of acquaintance with the technology, I realized that this renewal of the strength index has a significant number of advantages: no need to increase the pressing weight on the foundation, installation without stopping the production activity, etc. As it turned out, the reinforcement of buildings with carbon fiber allows to leave the former weight of the structure, significantly raising such factors as durability and strength. The coal deposits were, at that time, a long-awaited point, which was capable of causing a colossal impact on the credibility of our firm. After I talked about the prospects for my director, plus the fact that the reinforcement of carbon fiber constructions promises to increase the number of customers, we were given green light, and I began to establish "bridges" with the management of the engineering enterprise reinforcing the structures.

After a quick conversation, we drafted an agreement on further partnership, through which we had the right to recommend clients carbon composites as reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures purchased through us. This partnership was useful for the cooperating parties, and soon the number of clients doubled.

Having worked as an engineer at a firm that produces reinforced concrete structures, he did not even dream that such times will come when the usual composition of reinforced concrete and steel reinforcement will receive the third element, which it was hard to imagine in the construction. I will narrate this case in a hurry. For a long period of activity, our construction company has seen a lot of positive feedback, but also the unflattering words are also heard. However strong the concrete, due to improper operation, concrete sometimes loses the original constructive integrity and crumbles.

One fine day, an advertisement came to my eyes about the fact that one engineering company began to carry out services for repairing and restoring the load-bearing capacity of concrete with the help of coal composites. As it was found, the reinforcement with carbon fiber allows to preserve the initial weight of the structure, significantly improving such parameters as quality and strength. As a result of getting acquainted with the development, I was convinced that this renewal of the sustainability indicator has a huge number of advantages: there is no need to increase the loads on the support, installation without stopping the functioning of the enterprise, etc. The coal deposits at that time were a salvage factor that could have a profound impact on our reputation Firm. After I told about the prospects for our director, plus the fact that the reinforcement of carbon fiber constructions promises to increase the number of customers, we were given a green light, and I began to establish links with the management of that enterprise.

After the final discussions, we signed an agreement on further cooperation, through which we could offer our customers carbon composites to reinforce our purchased reinforced concrete products. This cooperation was useful for both parties, so soon the number of our customers doubled. This is how the technological achievement has become a stimulant for reaching a new stage in the development of our company. Of course, here the producers of carbon composites have managed to acquire from the signed partnership enough advantages of a financial nature, since it was there professionals who reinforced the structures of reinforced concrete.
