Structural Strengthening & Retrofitting
Structural Strengthening & Retrofitting
Structures are designed to last decades, but changing functions, heavier loads, and environmental stressors can quickly outpace original designs. Structural strengthening and retrofitting offer a cost-effective way to enhance safety, extend service life, and preserve investments — without disrupting daily operations.
NVLN Constructions brings in years of expertise in delivering strengthening and retrofitting solutions for bridges, high-rises, industrial plants, and institutional facilities. We take pride in building a reputation for retrofitting strategies to upgrade the strength and durability of existing RCC structures. Our solutions are designed to meet the needs of vertical expansion, seismic upgrades, or correcting design and construction deficiencies with precision, speed, and minimal disruption to operations.
Our services ensure compliance with all structural codes and standards.
Section Enlargement
Section enlargement increases the cross-sectional dimensions of RCC structural elements with high-bond repair mortars and additional reinforcement, significantly boosting load-carrying and shear capacity of structural elements.
Adding New Structural Members
Adding new structural members helps to improve load distribution, lateral stability, and seismic resilience by integrating new beams, columns, shear walls, or bracings into existing frameworks.
Adding Bolted Steel Tension Reinforcement
Bolting external steel bars or rods to flexural members enhances tension resistance and reduces deflection under service load.
Adding Bonded Steel Plates
Adding bonded steel plates includes using structural epoxy adhesives to bond steel plates to existing concrete elements, improving flexural, shear, or torsional strength without significant section enlargement.
Adding Bonded FRP Plates
Externally binding Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) plates and Glass Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) plates to concrete enhances structural strength while adding minimal weight.
Reinforcing by Post-Tensioning (External Prestressing)
In large heavy-performing structures, external post-tensioning with the help of high-strength tendons anchored outside the concrete profile help in improving crack control and enhancing load-capacity.
