Gaetz Ave Shear Strengthening

STRUCTURAL STRENGTHENING, LOCTITE TYFO SYSTEM
OVERVIEW

Fibrwrap Construction provided a complete fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) shear reinforcement solution required at the Gaetz Avenue and 60th St. overpass in the City of Red Deer, Alberta. Fyfe Co LLC certified applicators, Fibrwrap Construction, installed the LOCTITE Tyfo SCH system for shear strengthening within the critical shear zone at abutments of the bridge girders due to load increasing capacity requirements. The crew installed the high strength, low-profile system to the existing girders with minimal site impact. This installation provided a time and cost-efficient solution to ensure the bridge can continue to safely perform for the community of Red Deer.
