Structural Strengthening Works
Reinforcing or upgrading existing structural elements to increase load capacity, improve stability, and extend the service life of buildings, while ensuring compliance with current Australian Standards.

Over time, existing structures face increasing demands — heavier loads, new usage requirements, changes in building codes, and material deterioration from corrosion, settlement, or environmental exposure. Left unaddressed, these issues can compromise safety, functionality, and asset value.

Structural strengthening works provide a targeted, engineered solution to restore or enhance a structure’s capacity without full replacement. Our approach ensures minimal disruption to occupants, faster turnaround than demolition and rebuild, and long-term compliance with AS 3600 (Concrete Structures), AS 4100 (Steel Structures), and AS 2159 (Piling).

Our Process

  1. Engineering Assessment & Design
    • Collaborate with structural engineers to assess load requirements, deterioration, and safety margins.
    • Determine the most effective strengthening method — carbon fibre reinforcement, steel plate bonding, section enlargement, or additional supports.
  2. Surface Preparation & Substrate Repairs
    • Remove defective material and contaminants to achieve clean bonding surfaces.
    • Repair spalled or cracked areas to ensure the substrate meets required strength.
  3. Installation of Strengthening Systems
    • Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP): High-strength, lightweight reinforcement applied to slabs, beams, and columns.
    • Steel Plate Bonding: Heavy-duty plates bonded or bolted to increase capacity in bending or shear.
    • Section Enlargement: Increasing cross-sectional area of concrete members for higher load capacity.
    • Post-Tensioning & Prestressing: Adding or adjusting cables to increase structural performance.
  4. Quality Assurance & Testing
    • Perform adhesion and load testing to verify strengthening effectiveness.
    • Document all works for engineering sign-off and future maintenance reference.

Why Choose Us for Structural Strengthening

  • Precision Engineering: Every solution is tailored in consultation with qualified structural engineers.
  • Minimal Disruption: Works staged to allow continued building use during upgrades.
  • Future-Proofing: Upgrades designed to exceed current code requirements where practical.

When executed correctly, structural strengthening can add decades to the life of a building, allow for functional upgrades such as new plant loads, and prevent costly failures. We deliver these works with the same precision and quality control as major Tier 1 contractors, but with the agility and responsiveness suited to mid-market and remedial projects.
