What Is Carbon Fiber Reinforcement ?

Carbon Fiber Reinforcing is used in situations where a concrete structure requires an improved load bearing capacity. Carbon Fiber strips are a versatile and strength enhancing solution, which offers performance that is far superior to steel in terms of strength to mass ratio. Light and easily applied, the ease and non-intrusive installation is a fantastic solution in strengthening of concrete structures. 

Ontario Concrete & Flooring Solutions services highly trained professionals install designs supplied by structural engineers in a quick and efficient manner; concentrating on quality, speed of installation and technical expertise. OCFS can offer and design installation and certification service in partnership with one of our Structural Engineering associate companies. OCFS installs the entire range of carbon fiber reinforcing, specializing in concrete structures.
