Structural excavation includes removing any material of any kind that is needed for the construction of: bridge foundations, box culverts, retaining walls beyond the earth excavation payment limits, and other structures depicted on the plans. The placement of all appropriate fill, except for pervious structure backfill, and the waste of excavated material that is not needed for backfilling or embankment or is unsuitable for such purposes. S-BR’s manufacturers were designed to meet the unique requirements of specific restoration applications. S-BR meets specific performance requirements to ensure successful installation and long-term performance in demanding environments. When used in conjunction with one of our specialty repair systems, we offer total engineered solutions.

Concrete formwork design and installation consists of a strong and robust formwork, providing quality potential for construction of structural concrete. S-BR’s detailed planning and quality of work are crucial for molding the building’s shape. In the coining planning process, there are many details to be examined, including the materials used, how and where the forming components are manufactured and how the structures are set. The designer of concrete formwork must select adequate materials and make use of them so that the objectives of safety, finances, and superiority are met. The formwork designer’s goal is to select a system that will enable concrete elements that meet the job’s requirements to be cast in a safe and cost-effective manner. Design concepts must incorporate the materials for the forms, as well as the size of the elements, the spacing of all supporting members, and the best method for properly assembling the forms to create a stable structure. Craftsmen from S-BR has experience in working alongside contractors and other decision makers to ensure the formwork and concrete design are up to standards.

The biggest weakness of concrete is its tensile strength, which can be less than 10% of the compressive strength. Therefore, S-BR craftsmen often strengthen it to build a composite material that is strong against all kinds of stress. Reinforced concrete is a mix of adequate reinforcement (typically steel bars with raised lugs known as deformations) and concrete designed to work together to resist applied loads. Concrete’s compressive and tensile strength is increased when reinforcement is properly placed. Educating our clients about reinforcement and structure at S-BR are what mold the foundation of expertise and technology.

The exposed surfaces must be finished after the concrete has been placed, consolidated, and screeded to remove excess concrete. Proper concrete placement is essential in any project. Improper mix design, placement, scheduling, or vibration can lead to voids, rock pockets, delays, and in extreme cases, bulged walls, and blowouts. A comprehensive study of all the factors involved to create perfect concrete, perfectly placed in every situation would require a book.  S-BR craftsmen have the expertise and certifications to install all types of reinforcement, including rebar, unbonded post-tensioning, bonded post-tensioning, and composite reinforcement. S-BR craftsmen has the technology and professionalism, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of different tactics that is required to finish concrete.
