Date: February 2009
Structure: Food Processing Plant
Contractor: Smith Waterproofing, Almont MI
Engineer: Gateway Engineering & Surveying
Material Used: 300 g.s.m. Unidirectional Tow Sheet & 4550 Epoxy Resin

Project Scope:
Processing Plant combined high humidity and a very acidic environment. The corrosive atmosphere deteriorated CMU building, creating loss of compression capacity a loss of tensile capacity.


Solution:
Fortress 300 g.s.m. Carbon Fiber Fabric was installed 4ft on center to increase compression capacity.

Observations:
Fortress Carbon Fiber was designed to tie foundation back together while increasing its compression capacity, and still maintain plant production.
