Commercial Building Structural Strengthening

Commercial buildings often require structural upgrades to accommodate tenant improvements, meet current building codes, address deterioration, or enhance seismic resistance. Traditional strengthening methods can be invasive, expensive, and disruptive to building operations.

CompositePros provides engineered FRP strengthening solutions that enhance structural performance with minimal impact to building occupants and aesthetics. Our lightweight composite systems add strength without adding significant mass, making them ideal for buildings with limited foundation capacity.

Applications

Commercial Building Applications

Column Strengthening

Increase axial and flexural capacity for columns supporting increased loads or requiring seismic upgrades.

Beam & Floor System Upgrade

Strengthen beams and floor systems to support heavier loads, equipment, or tenant improvements.

Wall Strengthening

Enhance shear walls and structural walls for seismic resistance and lateral load capacity.

Historic Building Preservation

Non-invasive strengthening that preserves architectural features while meeting modern structural codes.

BENEFITs

Why FRP for Commercial Buildings

  • Building Remains Occupied

    Work progresses with minimal disruption to tenants and operations

  • Rapid Installation

    Projects completed in days or weeks vs. months

  • No Added Mass

    Lightweight materials don't overload existing foundations

  • Architecturally Sensitive

    Can be concealed within existing finishes

  • Code Compliance

    Meet current building codes without major renovations

  • Seismic Upgrade

    Enhance earthquake resistance and ductility

  • Cost-Effective

    50-70% savings compared to traditional strengthening methods

  • Versatile Applications

    Works on concrete, steel, masonry, and timber structures
