Bowed Walls - Carbon fiber technology

Carbon fiber technology

A1’s carbon fiber repairs are a very effective solution for repairing bowed walls as well as effectively addressing cracks and leaks in foundation walls while providing essential structural reinforcement. 

This solution offers a durable and reliable method for securing your foundation, harnessing the exceptional strength of carbon fiber to mitigate any potential future movement. 

Carbon fiber is lightweight and boasts remarkable tensile strength, being ten times stronger than steelThe best way to fix a bowed foundation wall really depends on the severity of the problem. If the bowing is severe, other means of repair such as steel reinforcement, stitching, or rebuilding the wall may be necessary.

In most cases, carbon fiber strapping is an effective solution.

CARBON FIBer REPAIRS

Why do we repair cracks with carbon fiber:

In cases where a wall exhibits bowing or there are concerns about the potential progression of a crack, it is crucial to take appropriate measures. Carbon Fibre repairs are recognized for their strength and reliability in providing effective solutions for securing foundation walls

A1’s Carbon Fiber Crack Repair effectively addresses both cracks and leaks in concrete walls while providing essential structural reinforcement. This solution offers a durable and reliable method for crack repair, harnessing the exceptional strength of carbon fiber to mitigate any potential future movement. Carbon fiber is lightweight and boasts remarkable tensile strength, being ten times stronger than steel

Our Carbon Fiber Crack Repair serves as an effective stand-alone solution or can be utilized alongside our advanced waterproofing methods, including sheet and drainage membranes. Based on the specific type of crack, we will implement either unidirectional or bidirectional carbon fiber techniques.

A1’s Carbon Fibre Bowed Wall Repair offers an ideal solution for addressing bowing walls and resolves the challenges posed by traditional methods for both residential and commercial property owners. The resulting finish is smooth, flat, and nearly imperceptible when painted, with no additional impact on square footage.

rEASONS YOUR CONCRETE MAY BE FAILING

1. Poor quality of raw material

Concrete is made up of cement, water, aggregate, and other additives. If the quality of any of these materials is poor, it can lead to a weaker concrete mixture that is more prone to failure.

2. Improper mix

Mix design plays a critical role in the strength and durability of concrete. If the mix design is incorrect, the concrete may be too porous, making it more susceptible to cracking and failure.

3. Poor construction management

Concrete structures can also fail due to poor construction practices, such as incorrect curing procedures, inadequate reinforcement, or improper placement of concrete.

4. Environmental Factors

Exposure to extreme temperatures, moisture, chemicals, live loads and other environmental factors can cause concrete to deteriorate over time, leading to cracks, spalling and other forms of failure.

5. Overloading

Concrete structures that are subjected to excessive loads can experience cracking and failure if they are not designed or built to handle them.

6. Corrosion of reinforcement

Reinforcing steel is an essential component of concrete structures, but it can corrode over time if it is not protected adequately. Corrosion can weaken the steel, leading to cracking and failure of the concrete structure

crACK REPAIRS

Polyurethane vs Epoxy

Epoxy and polyurethane injections offer great advantages for fixing concrete cracks. Epoxy is strong and bonds well, providing a durable connection that supports structural strength. On the other hand, polyurethane expands when injected, sealing even tiny cracks in concrete with resin, making it especially effective for repairing leaky cracks
