  1. Micro-Concrete Jacketing: Strengthening India's Infrastructure Micro-Concrete Jacketing offers a reliable and efficient solution for enhancing the structural integrity of ageing structures across India's diverse industrial, commercial, and infrastructure landscape.

  2. Introduction to Structural Strengthening What is Micro-Concrete Jacketing? Micro-Concrete Jacketing is a non-shrink, flowable concrete repair method designed to increase the cross-sectional area and load-bearing capacity of structural components like slabs, beams, and columns. It involves pouring specialised micro-concrete into a precisely erected formwork to provide superior strength and bonding to the existing structural member.

  3. Micro-Concrete vs. Traditional Concrete Traditional Concrete Micro-Concrete • Requires significant increase in cross-sectional area. • Free-flow and excellent workability. • Limited by space constraints. • Shrinkage compensation for a lasting bond. • Slower curing, more disruption. • High early strength for rapid application. • Minimal disruption to ongoing activities.

  4. The Process Step-by-Step Method 01 02 03 Surface Preparation Steel Treatment & Additional Reinforcement Formwork Installation Cleaning dust, oil, and grease; chipping off loose concrete to expose sound substrate and reinforcement. Building robust, leak-proof shuttering around the structural member, ensuring easy pouring and preventing material leakage. Cleaning corroded bars, applying anti-corrosive coatings, and installing extra rebars and shear connectors for enhanced load-carrying capacity. 04 05 Micro-Concrete Mixing & Pouring Curing Preparing a non-shrink, flowable mix and either pressure-grouting or gravity-feeding it into the formwork for void-free filling. Preserving surface moisture after solidification to ensure proper strength development and prevent cracks, using methods like wet hessian or curing compounds.

  5. Key Benefits Advantages of Micro-Concrete Jacketing 1 2 3 Non-Shrink Performance High Strength Minimal Disruption Ensures a lasting bond and prevents microcracks, filling all voids. Compressive strength over 40 MPa, ideal for high load-bearing structures. No vibration needed, less formwork, suitable for occupied structures. 4 5 Compatibility Quick Application Bonds well with most concrete substrates due to polymer modification. Flowable and self-compacting, reducing project timelines and labour.

  6. Versatile Applications Sectors Benefiting from Micro-Concrete Jacketing Residential Buildings Commercial Premises Industrial Structures Strengthening old apartment columns and beams to meet modern load standards. Upgrading office and retail spaces with minimal disruption to daily business. Fixing heavily loaded slabs and beams in warehouses and factories. Bridges and Flyovers Hospitals & Schools Reinforcing ageing infrastructure exposed to continuous loads and environmental stress. Ensuring building safety with minimal noise and dust during execution.

  7. When to Choose Micro-Concrete Jacketing Is it Right for Your Project? Concrete spalling or reinforcement corrosion: Visible signs of deterioration in your building. Structural reinforcement without demolition: Need to strengthen without tearing down existing structures. Limited site space: Restricted areas where traditional formwork or equipment is challenging. Rapid strength development: Projects requiring low shrinkage and quick early strength. Non-disruptive retrofitting: Minimising impact on occupants or operations.
