Carbon Fiber Reinforcing is typically used in settings where concrete structures require an improved load-bearing capacity. Our carbon fiber reinforced polymers services in Calgary are versatile and strength enhancing, which offer performance that is superior to steel in terms of strength to mass ratio.
Light and relatively easily applied (as opposed to other remedies), the ease and non-intrusiveness of the installation is a great answer in terms of strengthening concrete structures.
Van Mason Coatings has been certified to install carbon fibre designs that are supplied by structural engineers and are completed in an efficient manner, concentrating on quality, speed of installation and technical expertise.
