CSS V-Wrap™ Systems
End-to-End Strengthening Solutions
Common Applications
STRUCTURAL TECHNOLOGIES has a strategic alliance with Simpson Strong-Tie throughout North America. This alliance enables us to jointly deliver comprehensive repair and strengthening solutions to engineers, general contractors, and owners across multiple market sectors.
The combination of innovative products, design support, and installation services allows us to deliver fully integrated design-build solutions from identification of the application through construction implementation.
The state-of-the-art CSS V-WrapTM systems utilize durable, high-strength carbon fiber and glass fibers bonded with adhesive resins. They are used to restore or increase the load-carrying capacity, ductility, and seismic resistance of structures – ideally suited for applications with limited access and/or complex geometries.
