Working on behalf of some large contractors and very closely with Wolverhampton Council, CCUK has designed Carbon Fibre Strengthening solutions to enable the refurbishment of the HRRB’s for electrical, mechanical and sprinkler installation. 5-week project.

Here are just some of the methods our industry uses to strengthen reinforced concrete structures and buildings, exemplifying CFRPs. These methods are known as retrofit techniques and there are 6-7 in total, although there is usually a choice of 2-3 [1] once a survey of the building or structure has been completed and feasibility determined. For example, using a method to strengthen certain aspects of the structure could put unnecessary stress on another area, and so on.

A more appropriate question, perhaps, is “what did we do before CFRPs?”. The technological advancements that have come along with carbon fibre-reinforced polymer materials mean we no longer *need* to depend on alternative strengthening/seismic upgrading methods. Although, that’s not to say all concrete construction experts use CFRPs (or, at least, they don’t yet!), and let’s be clear – there are still pros to using all types of seismic upgrading and it is usually down to the knowledge and experience of your contractor to suggest the `correct` one.

What is the proper way to change a drill bit? I see many online videos, where they remove the battery, open the chuck hole manully with hand, and then retwist to tighten manually. In other articles, they use the battery to automatically open, and then auto retighten with the trigger. For my particular drill, it does not mention in the directions, and trying to figure out.

I've changed bits on drills for several decades using the rotation from the motor, with no problems. But it would only need a bit of swarf on the chuck to make me think again. Wearing gloves would probably remove that threat. As with all power tools, exercise caution, and weigh up advantages/disadvantages of how to perform certain operations, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if most tradesmen didn't do it my way!

Often, the best way to comprehend a specialist service is by seeing it in action and the difference the project has made. We’ve handpicked some of our recent CFRPs projects for you below!

During the standard refurbishment, we discovered the soffit panels to be severely damaged. Concrete panels that formed the construction of the floor slabs had suffered some deterioration and damage over the years. 8-week project.

CCUK worked with the main contractor on site to provide a solution for concrete repairs and the application of CFRP plates. The concrete repairs were done according to material and application specifications provided by the Highways Agency, mostly overnight while traffic was sparse!

Entirely up to you. Manufacturers need to write instructions which put them totally in the clear so even fully paid up idiots cannot sue them.

Described as the `wonder material of the century`, carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is favoured by concrete repairs and strengthening specialists all over. The popularity of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer raised in 2016 and has been that way since – and we can see why! Carbon fibre-reinforced polymer is almost 3-4 times stronger and enormously lighter than steel, at an average weight of 600g/m2 and approximately 1mm thick carbon fibre strengthening systems get the job done quickly, easily, and oftentimes more effectively in comparison to materials with similar applications. We could talk about the pros all day – but what about the cons?
