Re-strengthening & Jacketing

Structural Retrofitting & Concrete Jacketing Solutions

Jacketing is a method of structural retrofitting and strengthening. It is used to increase bearing load capacity following a modification of the structural design or to restore structural design integrity due to a failure in the structural member. This technique is used on vertical surfaces such as walls, columns and other combinations such as beam sides and bottoms. It consists of added concrete with longitudinal and transverse reinforcement around the existing column.

At Applychem, our structural jacketing and re-strengthening services restore integrity to compromised load-bearing elements, providing seismic reinforcement, enhanced shear resistance, and structural section enlargement for commercial and industrial facilities.

• Enhances axial, flexural, and shear load-bearing capacity of existing structural members
• Restores structural integrity following design modifications or distress
• Applied to columns, walls, beam sides, and beam soffits with micro-concrete or self-compacting concrete
• Integrated longitudinal and transverse reinforcement for complete structural continuity
