Fortifying your buildings with structural strengthening services.
What is Structural Strengthening?
Structural strengthening involves reinforcing existing structures to improve their load-carrying capacity and overall performance. This technique can be applied in various scenarios, such as renovations or to support the addition of new equipment.
Building Modifications for Heavy Equipment
Need to accommodate heavy machinery or industrial equipment? Our structural strengthening services can help you modify your building to handle the increased load. We specialize in:

Structural Strengthening Service Example
Structural strengthening — Wells worked with this food manufacturing client to support as they upgraded facility mechanic systems on the roof. To support the increased roof load, we integrated Sika CarboDur S, a pultruded carbon fiber reinforced polymer laminate system that can strengthen concrete, timber and masonry structures.
