Systems and Concepts for Repair and Strengthening of Bridges and other Structures

Concrete is a durable and relatively maintenance-free construction material. Nevertheless, repair and/or strengthening of existing structures may become necessary due to

• natural aging, inadequate design, poor quality of materials, faulty construction practices
• severe environmental and accidental influences (e.g. overloads, vehicular impacts, strong earthquakes, hurricanes, fire)
• changes in use (e.g. load enhancement beyond the original design values)
• increased safety requirements.

DSI can assist you during all stages of a repair/ strengthening project:

• inspection and condition evaluation of structures
• preparation/review of the repair/strengthening scheme
• design and dimensioning of the strengthening work
• supply and installation of high quality DYWIDAG products
• execution of the strengthening works
• site supervision with quality assurance
• monitoring and inspection controls.
