Structural Strengthening & Underpinning

Structural strengthening and underpinning is an umbrella for methods — FRP, steel plate bonding, concrete jacketing, micropiles, and helical piers — that increase load capacity or arrest/correct foundation settlement.

Used on high-rises, industrial buildings, and bridges for load-rating deficiencies, settlement, or code upgrade requirements under ACI 562 and ACI 437R.

We coordinate with structural engineers to select the least-disruptive method that meets capacity and settlement criteria, then install with verified materials and load testing where required.

Whether the goal is a load upgrade, settlement arrest, or code compliance after inspection, Costal Concrete delivers strengthening solutions built for Florida’s soils and coastal exposure.

FAQs

Common questions our customers ask before starting their roofing project.

1. When is underpinning needed vs FRP strengthening?

Underpinning addresses foundation settlement and soil support. FRP and jacketing strengthen members above grade. Many projects need a combination.

2. Do helical piers work in Florida soils?

Helical piers and micropiles are commonly used in Florida when designed for local soil conditions and verified with installation torque or load tests.

3. Can occupied buildings be strengthened?

Yes. Many methods allow phased work with limited disruption. Access, vibration, and temporary supports are planned with the owner and engineer.

4. Is this related to milestone inspection findings?

Often. Post-inspection repair programs frequently include strengthening, waterproofing, and concrete repair to satisfy engineer recommendations.
