Structural Repairs’ Re:Grid Solution Wins 2025 UK Concrete Show New Product Award

We’re delighted to announce that Structural Repairs’ Fortress Re:Grid has been voted winner of the 2025 UK Concrete Show New Product Award!

As the UK faces growing concerns over RAAC deterioration in buildings and the increasing strain on car parks due to the rising weight of EVs, Re:Grid offers a cutting-edge structural reinforcement solution to ensure long-term safety and durability.fortress regrid encapsulator mesh steel

A Dual Solution for Critical Structural Challenges

1. RAAC Remediation for Buildings

  • Strengthens and stabilizes weakened RAAC panels in schools, hospitals, and public buildings.
  • Prevents structural failure and extends the lifespan of existing infrastructure.
  • Provides a cost-effective alternative to full replacement, minimizing disruption.

2.Reinforcement for Car Parks & Load-Bearing Structures

  • Addresses the added weight of EVs, which can accelerate wear on aging car park structures.
  • Enhances load capacity to prevent overloading and structural compromise.
  • Offers a quick and efficient installation process to maintain functionality during reinforcement works.

The Urgent Need for Structural Reinforcement

  • RAAC in Buildings: A 2023 National Audit Office report highlighted the urgent need to address RAAC deterioration, with many structures at risk of failure. Schools, hospitals, and public buildings require immediate reinforcement solutions to ensure safety.
  • Car Parks Under Strain: With EVs averaging 30% heavier than traditional vehicles, many older car parks were not designed to accommodate these increased loads. Strengthening these structures is essential to prevent long-term damage and ensure safety compliance.

Re:Grid – The Next Generation of Structural Strengthening

  • Engineered for durability – Provides long-lasting reinforcement for both RAAC-affected buildings and high-load structures.
  • Minimizes disruption – Designed for rapid deployment, allowing facilities to remain operational during installation.
  • Cost-effective and sustainable – Avoids unnecessary demolition, reducing environmental impact while ensuring compliance with modern safety standards.

Proven Results in Real-World Applications

A recent multi-story car park project utilized the Re:Grid solution to reinforce an aging structure facing increased loads from EVs. The project was completed 50% faster than traditional strengthening methods, ensuring long-term safety without major operational disruptions.
