Eighteen ways to raise the capacity of a structure that is already built, and still in use.
There are many reasons for restoring or increasing the structural capacity of structures, including changes in use resulting with increase of service loads, building code changes, construction error, design errors or years of deterioration creating loss of capacity of existing structural members.
FRP Engineering
Delta Structural Technology practices FRP Engineering through its many partners of experienced design professionals. Delta provides a review with no cost and no obligation of potential applications. We check for feasibility and create budgetary proposals. Delta Structural Technology facilitates specifications, stamped drawings and calculations, quality control and testing.
High-strength, light weight, non-corrosive, cost effective
Delta is a full-service structural solutions firm, specializing in FRP wrap installation. Fiber wrapping is a high-strength, light-weight solution that is applied to restore broken buildings, prevent floods and earthquake damage, preserve historical structures, and repair corrosion. Our carbon wrapping services provide safety and security from natural disasters, dilapidation and terror. In addition, our materials and methods are a proven alternative to steel. The structural technologies brought through FRP (CFRP and GFRP) have not only saved lives and preserved buildings, but also prevented harm as well. We also assist structural engineers, contractors and architects in providing efficient and cost effective methods for CFRP installation and commercial contracting.
The ability to obtain the solution not obtainable through traditional methods
Services
Services01Structural Strengthening
Structural strengthening is the process of upgrading the structural system of an existing building to improve performance under existing loads or to increase the strength of the structural components to carry heavier loads.
- Carbon Fiber Strengthening
- Glass Fiber Strengthening
Services02Carbon Fiber Strengthening
Carbon fiber strengthening is strengthening primarily for flexural applications due to it's high modulus for additional capacity with designed with the existing steel and concrete strength and can be coated to protect and also fire proofed.
Services03Punching Shear
Shear bolts are a new type of reinforcement developed for punching shear strengthening and retrofit of existing slab-column connections.
Services04Seismic Retrofit
Column strengthening was the original use for seismic upgrades using composite fiber external strengthening, and confinement is still what the material does best.
Services05CFRP Design Engineering
Delta facilitates FRP engineering through its experienced design professionals: feasibility, specifications, stamped drawings and calculations, quality control and testing.
Services06Delegated Design Services
Where the Engineer of Record hands the strengthening design down to the specialist who will install it, Delta produces the calculations, the drawings and the seal.
Services07Concrete Repair
The most common deterioration mechanisms observed within reinforced concrete structures are associated with cracking due to a restrained change in volume, embedded metal corrosion, chemical attack and freeze thaw damage.
Services08Corrosion
Delta provides resources to complete a turn-key approach to the diagnosis, repair, and prevention of structural corrosion.
Services09Blast Mitigation
With 20 years of creating, retrofitting, and field testing blast resistant structures, we insure our customers can safely rest knowing they are protected.
Services10Flood Protection
Floods can create tremendous turmoil for buildings, building owners and building occupants. Flood proofing is a preventative procedure to protect lives and the life of a structure from flood damage.
- FloodSafe Flood Doors
- Dry Flood Proofing
Services11Post Tension Repair
Post tension tendon inspection is the first step to finding section loss and/or corrosion.
Services12Non-Destructive Testing
A variety of non-invasive inspection techniques used to evaluate the properties of materials
Services13Carbon Fiber Inspection
Quality control and testing of the installed system: what was bonded, whether it bonded, and whether it is still bonded.
Services14Historic Structure Rehabilitation
Nueces County, Texas had a courthouse that was built in Corpus Christi in 1907 and was abandoned when the new facility was built, leaving the building to deteriorate.
Services15Shotcrete
Repair, protect and strengthen aging, damaged or overloaded concrete and masonry structures in one application and significantly reduce your installed cost.
Services16Concrete Beam Widening
In many structural upgrades, we are able to increase the capacity of the existing structural beams by adding additional rebar, concrete, and many time near surface mounted FRP rebar (NSM) to the existing beams.
Services17Concrete Enlargements
Section enlargement adds reinforcing steel and concrete to an existing column, beam, joist or slab so the member itself carries the higher load, rather than adding new supports around it.
Services18Near Surface Mounted Bars
Near-surface mounted (NSM) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforcement is one of the latest and most promising strengthening techniques for reinforced concrete structures.
