Carbon Fibre Crack Stitching
What is Carbon Fibre Crack Stitching?
Carbon Fibre Crack Stitching is a non-invasive repair method that involves the use of carbon fibre strips or rods to bridge cracks in masonry or concrete structures.
The carbon fibre is bonded to the surface of the material using a high-strength epoxy resin, creating a strong and permanent repair that prevents further crack propagation.
This technique is particularly effective for repairing cracks caused by settlement, thermal movement, or structural overloading.
By stitching the cracks together with carbon fibre, we can restore the load-bearing capacity of the damaged element and extend its serviceable life.
Benefits of Carbon Fibre Crack Stitching
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Carbon fibre is exceptionally strong yet lightweight, making it an ideal material for structural repairs.
Durability: Carbon fibre is resistant to corrosion, fatigue, and chemical attack, ensuring long-lasting repairs.
Minimal Disruption: The crack stitching process is quick and non-invasive, minimising disruption to the occupants of the building.
Versatility: Carbon fibre can be used to repair a wide range of masonry and concrete structures, including walls, columns, beams, and slabs.
Cost-Effective: Compared to traditional repair methods, such as demolition and rebuilding, carbon fibre crack stitching is a cost-effective solution that can save time and money.
Our Approach
At Structural Repairs, we follow a rigorous process to ensure the success of our carbon fibre crack stitching projects:
Assessment: Our experienced engineers will assess the extent and cause of the damage to determine the most appropriate repair strategy.
Preparation: The surface of the cracked element is cleaned and prepared to ensure optimal bonding of the carbon fibre.
Installation: The carbon fibre strips or rods are cut to size and bonded to the surface using a high-strength epoxy resin.
Quality Control: We employ strict quality control measures to ensure the integrity and durability of the repair.
