| CARBON FIBER INTERNAL GRIDS |
for Precast Concrete Applications
Fortress Stabilization Systems is on the cutting edge of developing stronger, lighter, more cost-effective alternative to the old ways of laying concrete. Fortress Carbon Fiber Grid products can increase structural strength and stability of concrete while extending the life of your project and reducing labor cost. The Carbon Fiber technology allows the grids to be handled with ease due to its light weight. Fortress Carbon Fiber Grid products lay flat, have better crack control and improve the longevity of concrete.
The Fortress Stabilization Systems Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Grid Mesh is a cross-laid carbon fiber composite grid with an epoxy coating.Industrial-grade carbon fiber has made it economically possible for use in commercial settings. TheCarbon Grid Mesh adds greater benefits to any concrete project. It increases the quality,strength,adds longevity and long-term performance to the concrete. The Carbon Fiber Grid Mesh is more corrosion-resistant than steel and it doesn't diminish over time. It also won't rust, stain or spall, like steel mesh.
The Fortress Stabilization Systems Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Grid Mesh structurally allows the concrete to be thinner and taller. Carbon Fiber grids require less concrete cover than steel mesh. Typically 2 to 3 inches are required to minimize steel reinforcement corrosion. While the Fortress Stabilization Systems Pre-Preg Carbon Grid Mesh requires 5/8" of concrete cover, making it lighter weight, easier and more affordable to include expensive color additives and aggregates. With the concrete cover being thinner any supporting and connecting elements can be designed for lighter loads, reducing structural and shipping costs. Also reducing any maintenance costs.
Also, The Fortress Stabilization Systems Pre-Preg Carbon Fiber Grid Mesh controls shrinkage cracks more effectively than steel mesh because it bonds better to concrete. It does this because it is placed closer to the surface and has a smaller spaced mesh pattern then steel mesh.
Fortress Stabilization Systems Pre-Preg Carbon Grid Mesh can be used in a variety of ways to address many design requirements and needs. The grids are suitable for use in seawalls, sewers, manholes, staircases, and statues. Lobbies, public areas, restrooms, and many more. The Carbon Fiber Grid Mesh reduces the structure load and its installation is fast and easy.
The Fortress Stabilization Systems Pre-PregCarbon Fiber Grid Mesh is an innovative product that will improve the way you use concrete. This revolutionary state-of-the-art technology has many design, cost and long-term benefits that will increase your bottom line.
