Strength where the structure needs it
Reinforced concrete is regular concrete strengthened by adding steel rods — rebar — or mesh panels. The concrete provides the compressive strength that allows it to bear significant loads, while the steel reinforcement adds tensile strength, allowing a structure to resist wind, vibration and other shearing forces.
Any construction element intended to carry a heavy load should always be reinforced, especially foundations, footings, columns and slabs. Without reinforcement, these elements could be compromised structurally, or even fail entirely at some point in their lifespan.
VERTEX can provide the complete design and installation service for all the different types of reinforced concrete structures, both above and below ground, including the design of all false and temporary works that are required.
