Structural reinforcement – a guarantee of durability and safety
Kymecon ensures the durability of your structures in situations involving increased loads, changes of use and damage repairs — with certified expertise, dust-free methods and no disruption to operations.
When is structural reinforcement necessary?
Structural reinforcement of concrete is a specialist construction discipline in which the specific characteristics of the project play a decisive role. Correctly executed reinforcement ensures the durability of structures as loads increase, the intended use changes, or damage needs to be repaired.
We execute both in-situ cast and precast element structures, always tailored to the specific requirements of the project and the client’s schedule.
The Grade 1 Concrete Works Supervisor qualification for mass-concrete structures is the highest possible certification in concrete works. It enables even the most demanding structures to be executed correctly and durably.
1
Change of Occupancy
A warehouse becomes a production space — live loads increase significantly, and the original structure is no longer sufficient.
2
New plant and equipment installations
Heavy machinery or penetrations required for MEP systems weaken the original structure.
3
Damage remediation
Repair of damage caused by corrosion or mechanical stress, and reinstatement of load-bearing capacity.
4
Design or construction deficiencies
Strengthening a structure to meet required safety factors, where a design or construction defect has been identified.
Structural reinforcement of concrete across our project sites
Our methods
We always select the method for reinforcing concrete structures based on the project’s requirements and structural calculations.
Steel reinforcement
Conventional but highly effective steel clamps and profiles used to support critical structural elements.
Concrete jacketing (encasement)
Strengthening of columns and beams by applying a new reinforced concrete overlay with supplementary reinforcement bars.
Crack injection and grouting
Sealing of cracks and restoration of bond using specialist repair compounds.
“Concrete reinforcement is an investment in the future. We do not merely treat symptoms — we ensure that structures are capable of withstanding tomorrow’s challenges and ever-increasing demands.”
