Retrofitting Service is a specialized structural enhancement process aimed at improving the strength, stability, and performance of existing buildings or infrastructure. It involves advanced repair and reinforcement techniques such as FRP wrapping, jacketing, epoxy grouting, and steel plate bonding to restore and upgrade the structure to meet current safety standards. Retrofitting is essential for structures showing distress, cracks, or inadequate load capacity, ensuring extended lifespan, improved seismic resistance, and compliance with modern building codes.
