At Florida Ram Jack, we specialize in cutting-edge structural repair solutions that are built to last. One of our recent projects in Palm Coast, Florida—about halfway between Jacksonville and Orlando—highlights our expertise in carbon fiber reinforcement and crack repair.
The Challenge: Severely Cracked Structural Columns
The property at Calle del Sur presented a serious structural concern: five foundation area support columns showed extensive vertical and horizontal cracking. These columns are essential to the structural integrity of the building, and leaving them untreated poses a risk to long-term stability and safety.
Concrete cracking of this magnitude can be caused by a variety of factors, including settlement, moisture intrusion, or construction defects. Regardless of the cause, our team needed to act fast to secure the structure and prevent further deterioration.
Our Solution: Carbon Fiber Reinforcement
To address the issue, we implemented a Carbon Fiber Reinforcement system, one of the most advanced and effective methods for strengthening concrete structures without adding bulk or weight.
- Total Reinforcement Installed: 706 linear feet of carbon fiber wrap
- Application: Fully encapsulated all five damaged columns
- Result: Restored structural integrity and added long-term strength
Carbon fiber is a go-to solution in cases like this because it’s 10x stronger than steel, non-corrosive, and adaptable to a wide range of structural shapes and sizes. Once applied and cured, it forms a permanent bond with the surface of the concrete, effectively locking cracks in place and preventing them from spreading.
“The key to a strong foundation is proactive repair. With carbon fiber, we’re able to offer a modern, minimally invasive solution that outperforms traditional methods.” – Florida Ram Jack Team
Why Carbon Fiber?
Unlike bulky steel reinforcements or full column replacement, carbon fiber allows us to:
- Preserve the original structure
- Eliminate downtime and disruption
- Prevent future cracking and water intrusion
- Extend the life of the foundation
