State-of-the-art materials developed by a resident of the Technopolis Moscow Special Economic Zone (SEZ) were used to reinforce the floors of multi-story buildings in a residential complex located in central Moscow. This information was received from V. Ovchinsky, head of the Moscow Department of Investment and Industrial Policy.
The Nanotechnology Center for Composites (NCC) is a resident of Technopolis Moscow and a leading Russian organization developing systems for improving the performance of carbon fiber-based structures. Its staff has developed the effective CarbonWrap system for external reinforcement. This development is currently being actively used both in Moscow and throughout Russia.
V. Ovchinsky's opinion: "The company has been present in the construction industry for over 10 years. Its developments are successfully used in various projects. For example, NCK materials were used in Moscow to reinforce the Capital Towers high-rise buildings. The proposed products were used to strengthen the floor slabs in the residential complex. The condition of the openings used for utility lines was also improved. Achieving such goals requires full compliance with standards governing the quality of the work performed. The center's system, responsible for external reinforcement, successfully fulfills this requirement."
Using CarbonWrap makes structures more reliable and improves their load-bearing capacity. Unlike metal reinforcement, this approach helps save money and shorten the time required to strengthen the slabs. This effect is achieved through the use of high-strength laminates with a carbon fiber core. Reinforcing the structure requires minimal machinery and specialized equipment. No downtime is required during the work.
According to G. Degtyarev, the CEO of the Technopolis Moscow SEZ, the NCC's offerings are in demand both in Russia and abroad. They are also essential in Belarus, where similar materials are used to construct the most important bridges and overpasses. Today, the company employs over 200 experienced specialists. Over the course of its residency, the Nanotechnology Center for Composites has generated revenues exceeding 3 billion rubles. The CarbonWrap system is used in numerous projects to strengthen residential buildings, industrial structures, and facilities in the transportation sector, pipelines, nuclear power, and other industries.
