Commercial Carbon Fiber Reinforcing
Commercial structural strengthening through carbon fiber technology
Developed by the engineers at Nationwide Reinforcing, The Reinforcer and The Reinforcer Shield are advanced carbon fiber technology methods for increasing flexural strengthening. More and more government, civil engineers and contractors are utilizing the revolutionary Reinforcer products to correct construction and design errors for a myriad of commercial construction applications:
BRIDGE DECKS
PARKING GARAGES
TUNNELS
STADIUMS
SEISMIC REPAIRS
DOT BRIDGES
CULVERTS
WAREHOUSES
FLOOR SLABS
WIND LOADS (HURRICANES)
Where steel beams or major re-construction were once the only options, The Reinforcer (plate or shield) provides a technologically advanced, proven alternative that is 8-10 times stronger than steel, light weight, non-corrosive and easy to apply. Each product provides a superior strengthening solution for deteriorated structures that need rehabilitated, buildings and floor loads due to structural changes, walls, wind load increases or for an existing structure that is under designed for its current use.
The Reinforcer Shield
The Reinforcer Shield is a fabric made of unidirectional carbon or glass fiber which is good for commercial flexural and shear strengthening including: column wrapping for corrosion protection, seismic loads, shear strengthening of concrete beams and any irregular shaped structures as it wraps around corners. This can also be used for foundation repair.
