<h1>FRCM Applications</h1>



<div class="row">
  <div class="col-sm-12 col-md-8">
    
    <p>
      Significant flexural, axial or shear strength gains can be realized with
      an easy-to-apply composite that does not add significant weight or mass to
      the structure. FRCM provides a low-impact, low-weight alternative to
      traditional concrete strengthening and retrofit methods. Many times, it is
      the most economical strengthening solution available, given its reduced
      preparation installation time.

        Projects that also require a surface repair and leveling in addition to
        strengthening
