With the power of construction chemicals, it's possible to rehabilitate and extend the service life of large structures! In this project, Engr. Danny Labordo reached out to Buildrite regarding a cost-effective solution to rehabilitate Naga City People's Mall and Public Market through retrofitting.

Over the years, the beams and columns of the structure suffered from concrete spalling. After several site visits together with the City Engineering Office, followed by demos and trainings from Buildrite, the rehabilitation process started rolling.

With the partnership of our technical team and St. Bernardine Construction and Enterprises, we were able to repair all concrete spalling using Buildrite Rust Converter, Buildrite Metal Primer, Buildrite Confix Hv, and Buildrite Concrete Patch V.

To strengthen the structure, we used Buildrite Carbon Fiber Fabric attached with Buildrite Carbon Fiber Laminating Epoxy to retrofit all the vital parts. This system provides a higher compressive strength, high load-bearing capacity, and 120,000 psi tensile strength. Compared to traditional concrete jacketing with rebars, the use of carbon fiber is easier and more economical.
