MASONRY REINFORCEMENT
We are approved with a number of proprietary system manufacturers including Helifix, Thorhelical and Cintec and have a wealth of experience and knowledge in the field of structural repair and masonry reinforcement.
We are able to utilise the benefits of stainless steel reinforcing bars, which possess substantial tensile properties and when applied correctly, can help strengthen and stabilise masonry in buildings and structures.
Issues of superstructure displacement and lateral instability can be addressed through a combined and sympathetic approach adopting lateral restraint ties, cemties, Helifix Sock Anchors or Cintec Anchors which are installed and secured in position through a grout-filled encasing sock.
Large areas of masonry can be secured and reinforced through the formation of masonry beams that help to tie together vulnerable areas and distribute structural loads across weak zones, creating a bridging effect.
WE ARE ABLE TO APPRAISE, DIAGNOSE AND DEVISE THE MOST APPROPRIATE REMEDIAL SOLUTION TO A VARIETY OF STRUCTURAL CONCERNS AND DEFECTS.
ANCILLARY STABILISATION
Applying wall and slope stabilisation systems helps to reinforce structures and combat overturning moments from load generated behind a retaining element, and also can prevent ground slippage at slopes beyond the angle of repose. We are fully conversant and experienced with a variety of propriety systems including Platipus Anchors, and can help prepare and install a fully geotechnically approved solution to a range of problems.
Other ancillary stabilisation techniques we specialise in include gravity and pumped grouting to consolidate and fill voids in traditional stone structures. We also offer resin injections to chemically bond and bridge across cracks, and carbon fibre strengthening which can be adopted as a post-treatment solution to improve strength in a structural entity.
