Earthquakes pose a significant risk to commercial buildings and infrastructure projects. Sudden seismic forces can cause structural failures, endangering lives and business operations. One of the most effective techniques to counter this risk is column jacketing . It strengthens existing columns, improves load capacity, and enhances seismic resistance. For commercial towers, corporate campuses, and infrastructure projects, column jacketing ensures safety, compliance, and long-term durability without the need for complete reconstruction. What is Column Jacketing? In order to improve the load-bearing and seismic resistance of columns in existing buildings, column jacketing is a structural strengthening technique. It entails "jacketing" or encasing columns with extra material, including steel, fibre-reinforced polymers, or reinforced concrete. This improves ductility, stiffness, and cross-sectional area. Its increasing demand among commercial property owners and infrastructure ...

Industrial facilities are the backbone of modern economies, supporting manufacturing, logistics, and infrastructure needs. These structures face heavy usage, environmental stress, and material degradation over time. Without timely interventions, issues like cracks, corrosion, and structural fatigue can disrupt operations. This is where the repair and rehabilitation of structures becomes essential. For companies and developers, investing in professional structural repair services ensures safety, durability, and compliance with industry standards. The Growing Importance of Structural Rehabilitation in Industry Common Structural Challenges in Industrial Facilities.  Unlike residential or commercial buildings, industrial facilities face different obstacles. Concrete corrodes more quickly when exposed to chemicals, and heavy machinery produces vibrations. Production facilities and ageing warehouses may exhibit reinforcing damage, spalling, or fissures. Ignoring these problems jeo...
