PCR offers engineered structural strengthening for seismic upgrades and code compliance on concrete and masonry structures across New Zealand. We apply FRP (Fibre-Reinforced Polymer) systems and fibre-reinforced plaster overlays designed to improve structural capacity, out-of-plane resistance, and crack control.
These systems are lightweight, non-intrusive, and ideal for retrofitting heritage buildings or operational assets. We work closely with structural engineers and product suppliers to tailor solutions to each project’s needs and constraints.
✅ Strengthening Methods We Offer:
🧱 FRP Systems (Fibre-Reinforced Polymer)
- Carbon or glass fibre wraps, laminates, and rods
- Applied to beams, columns, slabs, and shear walls
- Increases load-carrying capacity and confinement
- Quick to install, low-profile, and corrosion-resistant
🧱 Fibre-Reinforced Plaster Systems
- Applied over brick, block, or concrete substrates
- Reinforced with mesh and structural adhesive
- Improves out-of-plane strength, crack resistance, and ductility
- Suitable for seismic upgrades and heritage buildings
- Compatible with architectural coatings or mineral finishes
🛠 Typical Strengthening Scopes:
- Heritage and council-owned buildings
- Brick and masonry facades and parapets
- Seismic risk upgrades to concrete-framed buildings
- Reinforcement of load paths and structural joints
- Schools, churches, commercial buildings, and infrastructure assets
