Carbon Fiber Stitches

Gaje Contracting offers crack repair solutions through carbon fiber. In the past, cracks were often created by the initial shrinking of pavement, the evaporation of surface water, uneven support of heavy loads, or the presence of water. With crack stitching, Gaje Contracting has a better solution to repair cracked concrete: Carbon Fiber Stitching. Compared to traditional methods, carbon fiber stitching is faster, easier, and requires less heavy equipment.

The method involves making a series of perpendicular cuts into the concrete. Each cut is laced with a carbon fiber laminate rod. A high-strength polyurea compound is then injected around the carbon fiber laminate. The composite dries quickly to provide a stronger, longer-lasting solution than traditional steel. Finally, the area is ground to create a smooth finish. It is an excellent way to repair cracks in concrete that is too wide or deep for other methods.

Concrete Slab Crack Fill

In a new high-rise in the downtown area of Nashville, Tennessee, engineers began to worry about the cold joints in the top floors of a 20-story building. After a consultation with a contractor, Derek Veselich, owner of Ground Up Builders, Inc., Derek suggested using carbon fiber in conjunction with epoxy injection. The engineers agreed to use a local supplier, Rhino Carbon Fiber, to repair the cracks using a 12-inch-wide horizontal tow system.

Previously, contractors used giant staples to reinforce cracked concrete slabs. In addition, they needed to drill and grind the concrete surface to install giant staples. But now, contractors can use carbon fiber to repair foundation cracks much faster and more affordably than they could with traditional rebar. This new method is a faster, easier, and more reliable solution for crack repair.
