Structures may require repair or strengthening due to a range of factors, including poor construction, design changes, increased loading, corrosion, or lack of maintenance. Whatever the cause, Freyssinet Australia offers a comprehensive range of solutions to restore or enhance structural capacity, tailored to the condition and specific failure mechanism of each structure.
Our Structural Strengthening Solutions
Active Strengthening
Increases structural capacity using systems like Freyssinet’s patented external post-tensioning (PT) tendons, ideal for bridges and reinforced concrete elements requiring enhanced shear and flexural performance
Passive Strengthening
Prevents further deterioration without increasing capacity, using methods like composite reinforcements or steel plate strengthening.
Freyssinet’s additional prestressing solutions use external post-tensioning systems to restore or enhance the load-bearing capacity of existing structures. Ideal for bridges, structural steel elements and reinforced concrete elements, this method provides effective strengthening with minimal disruption.
High-strength composite materials, such as carbon fibre (CFRP), provide an efficient way to strengthen and rehabilitate structural elements. Used by Freyssinet Australia across a wide range of applications, these lightweight solutions enhance load capacity, durability, and service life with minimal disruption to the structure.
