Reinforced concrete strengthening with steel plates and profiles



Stap  has wide experience in strengthening work using steel plates and profiles. This technique allows us to strengthen structural reinforced concrete elements (beams, slabs, pillars, etc.) by fitting metal parts to work as [[external?]] strengthenings.


After the steel plates and profiles are treated in the workshop, the concrete surfaces are prepared (on site), followed by drilling and fixing the metal parts. The edges of the parts are sealed, along with any cracks, using epoxy resin injection.
