Wall Anchoring

For failing walls, new walls that are to be constructed, or simply existing walls in need of additional lateral support, Carolina Foundation Solutions uses the CHANCE Helical Tieback Anchors as a means of providing a reliable and effective solution. The helical anchors can be installed quickly and efficiently using small equipment. The wall anchors are driven into the adjacent soils, providing immediate and accurate results where lateral support is needed.

Carbon Fiber Reinforcement

The advancement in technologies and development of carbon fiber products has led to many successful and unique uses and applications. Studies over the past 20 years have confirmed that carbon fiber is an extremely strong, durable, and safe material. Carbon fiber will not rust, deteriorate, stretch, creep, or bend. As a result if is now a proven popular alternative to steel for purposes of providing reinforcement. In fact, it is superior to steel since it is stronger, stiffer, lighter, and non-corrosive. Due to the high strength to weight ratio, the corrosion resistant properties, and cost effectiveness, the installation of carbon fiber reinforcement systems has been proven to be the perfect solution for repairs throughout the construction industry.
