Mexico Project

The project is an apartment retrofitting in Mexico.

The primary problem faced by the apartment in structural reinforcement is that there are many pipelines and the construction area is narrow. This will greatly affect the construction effect.

After comparing multiple reinforcement schemes, carbon fiber was finally chosen.

Because carbon fiber materials have excellent flexibility and plasticity, whether it is a narrow wall, column or other structural member, carbon fiber can be easily adapted and reinforced. Its flexibility allows construction workers to accurately install it in a limited space without changing the cross-sectional dimensions of the original component, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the reinforcement effect.

So what are the advantages of carbon fiber in addition to its flexibility?

Lightweight: Carbon fiber materials are relatively light and weigh much less than traditional metal reinforcement materials such as steel bars. This makes construction in narrow places more convenient because construction workers can carry and operate carbon fiber reinforcement materials more easily, reducing logistics and space restrictions during construction.

Thinning: Carbon fiber reinforcement materials have excellent strength and stiffness, but are relatively thin. This does not take up too much space when reinforcing in narrow places. Compared with traditional reinforcement methods, such as concrete reinforcement, using carbon fiber reinforcement in narrow places can retain the original space size and shape to the greatest extent and reduce the impact on the structure.

Fast construction: Due to the flexibility and plasticity of carbon fiber reinforcement materials, as well as its lightweight and thin characteristics, the construction process is more efficient and rapid. Carbon fiber reinforcement in narrow places does not require large equipment or complex processes, so the construction period is greatly shortened. This can not only reduce construction costs, but also minimize the impact on normal operations and improve the efficiency of the project.
