Brick Column Structural Reinforcement Using Carbon Fiber – Owens-Illinois Glass Factory, Zanesville, OH
A historic Owens-Illinois glass plant in Zanesville, Ohio required reinforcement of a critical brick support column carrying more than 300 tons of molten glass. SRS provided a rapid, engineered carbon fiber strengthening solution that fully encapsulated the column, restored load-carrying capacity, and allowed the plant to maintain production schedules with minimal downtime.

Commercial Retaining Wall Repair & Strengthening With Carbon Fiber - Los Angeles, CA
A deteriorating 60-foot retaining wall at Occidental College in Los Angeles required a long-term structural repair solution after decades of cracking, section loss, and outdated reinforcement from its WWII-era construction. SRS provided a modern CFRP strengthening design using SRS-600UNI and SRS-660BI to stabilize the wall, restore flexural and shear capacity, and prepare it for future tieback loads where needed.

Carbon Fiber Bridge Pier Cap Strengthening - Jasper, IN
A rural Indiana bridge spanning the Patoka River showed significant deterioration at its pier caps, where aging horizontal reinforcement was no longer capable of supporting cantilevered loads. Structural Reinforcement Solutions partnered with LAN Construction and county engineers to develop a long-term carbon fiber strengthening system that restored structural integrity without major demolition.

Commercial Retaining Wall Strengthening with Carbon Fiber & Tiebacks - Happy Valley, OR
A retaining wall at an elementary school in Happy Valley, OR was exhibiting horizontal bowing and extensive cracking due to inadequate restraint and unexpected earth pressures. Structural Reinforcement Solutions (SRS) provided a carbon fiber strengthening system combined with tiebacks to permanently stabilize the wall and restore long-term safety.

Commercial Wall Strengthening with Carbon Fiber - Henrico County, VA
When foundation lifting raised concerns about the flexural capacity of 22-foot-tall CMU block walls, Structural Reinforcement Solutions provided a carbon fiber strengthening plan to reinforce each pier location using high-strength unidirectional CFRP. The reinforcement ensured safe foundation adjustments without damaging the existing wall structure.

Post-Tensioned Slab Strengthening Using Carbon Fiber Reinforcement | Vero Beach, FL
A post-tensioned concrete slab in Vero Beach required reinforcement after misaligned tendons caused flexural stress and shear concerns. SRS designed a carbon fiber strengthening solution that restored structural capacity while minimizing downtime.

Carbon Fiber Strengthening for Slab Embed Pullout Failure - Denver, CO
A high-rise condo project in Denver, Colorado discovered cracking around embedded plates on a 27" post-tensioned slab. Engineers determined that inadequate confinement threatened pullout failure of the embedded anchors. SRS provided a rapid carbon fiber strengthening solution to restore structural integrity and allow drilling of new threaded rods without further cracking.

Concrete Dock Crack Reinforcement with Carbon Fiber - Vancouver, BC
Storm surges and winter king tides caused severe cracking and structural distress to a concrete dock at the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club in Coal Harbour, BC. SRS provided a non-corrosive carbon fiber strengthening system to stabilize the dock, confine cracking, and protect it from future storm damage in a minimally disruptive, marine-grade application.

Carbon Fiber Beam Strengthening for Commercial Building | Pueblo, CO
A two-story commercial building in Pueblo, CO required structural reinforcement after added HVAC loading exceeded the capacity of the existing precast double-tee beams. SRS provided an engineered CFRP strengthening solution using SRS-600UNI, reducing material requirements while delivering rapid, cost-effective beam rehabilitation.

California’s Largest Carbon Fiber Retaining Wall Repair Project - Palm Springs, CA
A 650-foot retaining wall supporting six luxury homes in Palm Springs was exhibiting severe cracking, tilting, and soil-pressure instability. SRS engineered a hybrid reinforcement system using CFRP and steel tiebacks to restore structural integrity, increase load distribution, and prevent further wall movement in this high-risk seismic region.

Elevated Bike Path Column Reinforcement - St. Louis
A newly constructed elevated bike path in St. Louis experienced spalling and insufficient confinement at the tops of its 30" concrete columns. SRS provided a CFRP-based solution that restored structural performance while minimizing disruption to the project.

Timber Pile Rehabilitation with Carbon Fiber Reinforcement - Portland OR
Severe deterioration of hillside timber piles threatened the structural stability of a multi-building residential complex in Portland, Oregon. Structural Reinforcement Solutions engineered a carbon fiber rehabilitation system to restore load capacity while addressing tight access constraints and minimizing site disruption.

Parking Garage Structural Repair Using FRP Reinforcement - Birmingham, AL
A deteriorating parking structure with cracked concrete and exposed rebar required a cost-effective reinforcement strategy. SRS provided a carbon fiber strengthening solution that restored load capacity, halted corrosion, and extended the service life of the garage.

Innovative Structural Strengthening at the Historic Aladdin Hotel - Kansas City, MO
A historic downtown hotel needed a structural upgrade to accommodate new mechanical systems without compromising slab performance. SRS designed a carbon fiber reinforcement system that strengthened the slabs while maintaining the building’s historic integrity.

Protecting Critical Infrastructure: Column Repair for Telecom Towers - Marathon, FL
Deteriorated concrete columns supporting critical telecom infrastructure required immediate reinforcement. SRS restored structural capacity using CFRP systems, improving performance while minimizing downtime for essential communication services.
