Recent Construction
The presence of more built infrastructure and its progressive aging require intervening to maintain, repair, and often reinforce and consolidate it.
Since concrete is one of the main materials used in such infrastructure, concrete and, especially, reinforced concrete rehabilitation techniques are in fact extremely important. It is here that Stap engages in the following activities:
Reinforced concrete strengthening with steel plates and profiles
Stap has wide experience in strengthening work using steel plates and profiles. This technique allows us (...)

Reinforced concrete strengthening with composite materials;
Structural reinforced concrete elements often need strengthening when there are faults in design or (...)

Reinforced concrete strengthening with [[[external?]]] pre-stressing
We use [external?] pre-stressing when structures have to be strengthened, because the acting loads do not (...)
