Why Seismic Upgrading Is Non-Negotiable
Many multi-story residential and commercial buildings built prior to 2015 feature soft ground storeys used for parking or commercial shops. Without adequate lateral stiffness, these columns are susceptible to shear failure during seismic events.
The Column Jacketing Process
We install additional longitudinal steel reinforcement rebar, tie closely spaced seismic stirrups, apply epoxy bonding agents, and pour self-compacting micro-concrete to expand column load-bearing capacity by up to 250%.
