Fortress Stabilization Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Systems

What is Carbon Fiber/Kevlar strap reinforcement?

Carbon Fiber is a material consisting of extremely thin fibers that are composed mostly of carbon atoms.  The carbon atoms are bonded together in microscopic crystals that are more or less aligned parallel to the long axis of the fiber.  The crystal alignment makes the fiber very strong for its size.  Several thousand carbon fibers are twisted together to form a yarn, which is then woven into a fabric.  Kevlar, which is 5x stronger than steel on an equal weight basis, is then added for supierior shear strength.

How can this product fix my bowed, buckling or cracked basement wall?

Fortress Carbon Fiber straps are stronger than steel and can be applied to the inside face of the masonry wall virtually eliminating any need to excavate.  It is applied at a maximum on-center spacing of 4 feet and is bonded to the masonry wall using an epoxy gel.  Once applied, the wall is many times stronger than it was before.  This is a permanent repair and is gauranteed for the lifetime of your home.

Carbon Fiber countersunk staples

By itself, epoxy injection is not necessarily a substitute for a lack of proper reinforcing.  Fortress Stabilization Systems has developed and patented a carbon fiber staple that helps to reinforce cracked concrete.  Fortress carbon fiber staples have many of the same advantages as the Fortress strap system.  Fortress carbon fiber staples have a wide range of applications.  Below are some pictures of how Fortress staples where used to repair a cracking concrete pool.
