Wall Failure Repair
and Structural Reinforcement
Intermountain Foundation Repair, Inc. is
the local distributor of the FORTRESS STABILIZATION reinforcing
product. FORTRESS STABILIZATION has developed various Carbon-fiber
and Kevlar grids that include grid straps, peel-ply plates,
L-brackets, carbon/Kevlar staples, corner bracing and anchors.
Intermountain Foundation Repair, Inc. primarily uses these
products to reinforce basement walls that have begun to fail,
bow and crack. The material can also be used to restore structural
integrity to bridge columns, concrete beams, and to mend cracks
in concrete structures so the structural members can continue
to perform without being removed and replaced
FORTRESS Carbon-fiber/Kevlar grid
straps have been thoroughly tested and proven to be the best
solution for exterior reinforcement on the market today.
WHY USE COMPOSITE FIBER REINFORCEMENT?
1. Because carbon fiber grid-straps
lay flat on the surface, the wall can be painted so that the
property value is not diminished.
2. Carbon fiber is corrosion proof
and virtually lasts forever.
3. Carbon fiber is more rigid than
steel, so wall movement is immediately arrested.
4.Fortress grid-strap is conformable
to almost any deflection.
5. Carbon fiber installation can
usually be completed in a short amount of time.
6. Repair cost using fortress grid-straps
is a fraction of wall replacement and delivers strength comparable
to steel.
7. Fortress grid-straps will not
interfere with future installation of paneling, studs, or
waterproofing systems.
8. Unlike mechanical supports, carbon
fiber becomes an intrinsic part of the foundation wall.
9. Concrete crack repair with carbon
fiber grid-straps is the least obtrusive method available.
Most applications require no excavation, thus avoiding both
the high cost and damage to landscaping, driveways, etc. associated
with the use of heavy machinery.
10. Fortress Stabilization Systems
offers the best warranty in the construction industry.
