Transportation Infrastructure

Transportation Infrastructure engineers and authorities face a constant challenge in maintaining and upgrading their assets to meet modern day use.

Composites Construction UK specialise in extending the life cycle and increasing capacity of the UK’s valuable bridge network.

Comprehensive Solutions: Targeted actions are essential for repairing, rehabilitating, and strengthening structures. All necessary work must be completed while maintaining the operational status of the facilities, ensuring minimal disruption to daily use.

Advanced Systems: Composite Construction’s extensive supply chain agreements are available to address a wide range of issues related to the integrity of transportation structures. These systems effectively manage structural repair and rehabilitation, structural upgrades, protection against environmental factors, corrosion, and emergency repairs.

Expert Execution: Composites Construction UK meets the toughest requirements for structural preservation, corrosion-related repair and rehabilitation, and environmental protection. Clients benefit from rehabilitation work carried out with minimal disturbance to traffic and daily operations.

Design and Build Service: Composites Construction UK offers an insurance-backed design and build service. We have the expertise to provide full technical specifications for the procurement and implementation of any composite strengthening system, tailored to meet the specific demands of each client and project.

Applications

  • Column, beam, slab, and wall applications to increase shear strength, flexural strength, ductility and to improved confinement where needed.
  • Increase of shear and moment strength of beam to column connections.
  • All structural elements (beams, columns, slabs, walls, etc.) can be repaired or upgraded with minimum disturbance to traffic and normal every day operations.

Features

  • Carbon Fibre Strengthening  Systems include a carbon fiber solution that meets the International Building Code (IBC) requirements
  • Thoroughly tested at many independent laboratories worldwide
  • Cost-and time-effective solutions
  • Extends the service life of existing structures
  • Can lower the corrosion rate when confining existing members
  • Can prevent the onset of corrosion when applied to new structural elements
  • Can be used on circular, square, rectangular, hexagonal, flared and alternative shaped cross sections with negligible shape and size modifications
  • Can be used to repair/strengthen historic structures while preserving their original appearance

Benefits

  • Successful applications of the advanced composite systems since 1988
  • Short application time required
  • Rehabilitation of corroded or distressed members
  • Prolongation of the service life expectancy of the structures
  • Fast emergency repair of the damaged sections
  • Architecturally friendly solutions that do not affect the aesthetics of structures
  • Extremely low environmental Impact
What are the Solutions?
  • Rehabilitation of corroded or distressed members to restore lost capacity.
  • Structural upgrades to improve load-carrying mechanisms. Additional shear and flexural capacity can be added to beams, columns, slabs, and walls of any transportation construction (bridge, tunnel, etc.)
  • Preservation of historic structures, such as arch bridges, with a variety of materials that can be used to repair and strengthen while preserving their appearance.
  • Emergency repairs.
  • Design and/or constructionerror remediation.
