Corrosive materials are present in almost every workplace. A corrosive substance is one that will destroy or irreversibly damage another surface or substance with which it comes into contact. Acids, bases (which include caustics or alkalis), and other chemicals may be corrosive. In commercial and industrial settings, the release of corrosive chemicals can have a devastating effect on a buildings structural integrity, compression and tensile capacity.

In this case, a pickling plant had high humidity and a very acidic environment. The corrosive atmosphere deteriorated CMU building, creating loss of compression capacity a loss of tensile capacity.


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.
