Strengthening of Industry, Energy & Mining Infrastructure
Strengthening industrial structures with minimal disruption
Industrial assets often face heavier loads, evolving processes, and stricter regulations, pushing them beyond their original capacity.
VSL delivers targeted strengthening solutions for concrete, steel, and hybrid structures. Using proven techniques like external post-tensioning, jacketing, and CFRP reinforcement, we help enhance performance, control deformation, and extend service life, all with minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
Our strengthening solutions
Adds active reinforcement to structural elements without interrupting service. Used to boost capacity and control deflection in floors, beams, and support frames.
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant strengthening for concrete and steel surfaces. Applied with minimal surface preparation and downtime.
Section enlargement or confinement of columns, beams or walls, improving load distribution and seismic resilience.
Micropiles, jet grouting, or base confinement for increased stability, including under dynamic loads.
Installation of dampers, base isolation systems, and reinforcement detailing to comply with updated standards and enhance resilience.

FAQs about the Strengthening of Industrial, Energy and Mining Infrastructure
Yes. Most of our methods are designed for live conditions, including external post-tensioning and carbon fiber application.
We work on tanks, frames, reactor enclosures, suspended walkways, support beams, silos, and more.
It depends on scope and access, but we prioritize speed and efficiency, especially for shutdown-critical works.
We begin each project with a detailed assessment of the original structure, including materials, loads, and usage. Our engineers select strengthening methods that complement the existing design.
Active strengthening (like external post-tensioning) applies controlled forces to boost performance, while passive methods (like jacketing or FRP) enhance strength by adding or redistributing material. We often combine both to meet performance and durability goals.
