Carbon Fiber Strapping

Carbon Fiber Strapping

This is the most cost effective solution for stabilization. Fortress Stabilization makes, the strongest composite, certified strapping on the market, to ensure your wall never moves again. They are the only ICC certified, building code approved solution (ICC-ES ESR-3815).

Please note the differences on cracking for a Cinder Block wall. Typical symptoms include horizontal cracking along the wall(s), often connected to step down cracks near corner areas. Vertical cracks through the blocks themselves will often show as well.

For Poured Concrete, typical symptoms include significant separation within a crack and moving at different angles, including horizontal.

If you have settlement (ex: step cracking only on either side of a corner only), than other structural repair solutions will be necessary. Please contact us for recommendations to our trusted Structural Engineer and Foundation Contractors that handle tie-backs, underpinning, helical piering, mud jacking etc.

Epoxy Injections for Poured Concrete Cracks

When you need the crack ‘glued’ back together, or held in place to prevent further separation, there are two options:

• Carbon Fiber Stitching: A process that binds the wall back together utilizing their carbon fiber/Kevlar technology. This coincides well with a Polyurethane injection to stop any water leaking that has occurred.

• Epoxy injection: We inject an epoxy that will ‘glue’ the crack back together.
