ACRA present the annual Remedial Industry Excellence Awards. This year, Slabtec has entered the Quay Quarter Tower project (QQT).
“The Quay Quarter Tower (QQT) structure in Sydney underwent a process of carbon fibre strengthening as part of its renovation and repurposing.
CFRP is an extremely high-strength and lightweight material that is often used to reinforce concrete structures.
CFRP strengthening typically involves externally bonding the carbon fibre elements to the surface of the concrete using high-strength structural resins, creating a composite material that is extremely strong and durable.
The result is a concrete structure that is now able to withstand the requirements of the enlarged building envelope with essentially zero impact on the amenity of the building.
Other ACRA Members involved were BG&E and Sika.”
