2. Surface preparation

Once the problem areas have been identified, the work area is cleaned and prepared for installation work. Dust, dirt, and loose debris are removed from the wall surface to ensure a strong bond between the strap and the foundation wall. Furthermore, marking the strap installation points accurately is essential for proper strap alignment and optimum load distribution.

4. Strap and anchor installation

The carbon fiber straps will then be installed on the wall and secured with additional epoxy resin. Anchors are installed at the top and bottom if required by the plan and specifications. This process ensures that the straps are firmly attached to the wall, providing maximum reinforcement.

 

5. Final inspection

Once the installation is complete, a final assessment will be conducted to ensure that everything has been installed to engineering specifications. Checking for proper strap alignment, sufficient epoxy coverage, and correct anchor placement.
