TechFab
offers its MeC-GRID® line of structural grids as an External
Reinforcement System for repair, strengthening and seismic
retrofit applications. MeC-GRID is a high performance
reinforcement made by bonding advanced fiber systems (glass and
carbon fibers for external reinforcement systems) with epoxy
resin in a closely controlled manufacturing environment. MeC-GRID
structural grids are used with either a two-part epoxy adhesive,
polymer concrete or a similar type adhesive system, which in
turn bonds itself to the external structure to provide the
proper degree of repair, containment or strengthening.
Structural grids are relatively thin with the thickness ranging
from 0.020” to about 0.125”. As such, grids are relatively easy
to cut using heavy-duty scissors or tin snips. The material
comes on a roll for ease of use. Grids, being composite
materials, are light in weight and very strong. The
manufacturing process used to produce grids insures that all
fiber bundles are wet out and fibers in both warp and weft
direction is uniformly tensioned to insure consistent and
uniform fiber loading.
