Frequently Asked Questions
Can you enlarge existing concrete structures?
As specialists in concrete repair and strengthening, we at Strengthening Technologies can say that enlarging existing concrete structures is one of our key services. Many of our clients come to us with existing buildings that they want to expand, and we are able to help them achieve this by increasing the strength of their foundation beams, columns, and slabs.
When it comes to enlarging a structure, the process typically involves adding extra layers of concrete to existing weight-bearing members to ensure they can support the additional weight. To ensure success, it is essential that the existing concrete surface is properly prepared and that any new concrete is placed with air-tight formwork to eliminate any voids.
We have extensive experience in concrete repair and strengthening, and we are confident that we can provide a solution to any enlargement project, no matter how complex. Whether our clients are looking to add floors to a building or simply want to increase the space in an existing structure, we are here to help them finish their project.
