Structures may require repair or strengthening due to a range of factors, including poor construction, design changes, increased loading, corrosion, or lack of maintenance. Whatever the cause, Freyssinet offers a comprehensive range of solutions to restore or enhance structural capacity, tailored to the condition and specific failure mechanism of each structure.
-
Tailored Strengthening Approaches
-
Active StrengtheningIncreases structural capacity using systems like Freyssinet’s patented external post-tensioning (PT) tendons, ideal for bridges and reinforced concrete elements requiring enhanced shear and flexural performance.
-
Passive StrengtheningPrevents further deterioration without increasing capacity, using methods like composite reinforcements or steel plate strengthening.
Our structural strengthening solutions
Freyssinet’s additional prestressing solutions use external post-tensioning systems to restore or enhance the load-bearing capacity of existing structures. Ideal for bridges, structural steel elements and reinforced concrete elements, this method provides effective strengthening with minimal disruption.
High-strength composite materials, such as carbon fibre (CFRP), provide an efficient way to strengthen and rehabilitate structural elements. Used by Freyssinet across a wide range of applications, these lightweight solutions enhance load capacity, durability, and service life with minimal disruption to the structure.
