Complete Carbon Wrap Solutions for Structural Repair & Reinforcement

Repair & Reinforce Structures with Carbon Wrap Solutions

Around the world, carbon fiber reinforcement has become the new standard for strengthening structures. With the right carbon fiber polymer applied, a structure can become 10 times stronger than steel. Installation requires much less time, and the cost to install is but a fraction compared to traditional methods of adding more cement and steel reinforcement.

Carbon fiber solutions include reinforcement, wraps, sheets, and other composite materials designed to strengthen columns, beams, slabs, and other important structural elements. Carbon wrap solutions offer a non-invasive way to reinforce without changing the look or the exterior features of the structure.

Benefits of Carbon Wrap Solutions

Carbon fiber is known for its engineered strength and ability to prevent progressive collapse. Our carbon wrap solutions add hardness, strength and resilience while maintaining a lightweight footprint. You will not add mass or change of the size of your structure more than ¼”. The carbon wrap reinforcement system is just that powerful and easy. Other benefits include:

Expert CFRP Installation

UCC started using carbon fiber for underwater columns, specifically applying it to reinforce cement columns on bridge piles that had deteriorated in tidal zones. Through this experience, we discovered that carbon fiber has significant potential for a variety of other infrastructure applications, including rebuilding, rehabilitation, reinforcement, and new construction.

The installation of carbon fiber requires both expertise and efficiency, which is why we partner with leading polymer manufacturers to create the best carbon fiber reinforcement products on the market. With extensive experience in marine construction since 1969, we take pride in delivering carbon wrap solutions that meet our customers’ precise specifications.

Internal Carbon Fiber Wrap Solutions for Challenging Structures

Not every structure can be repaired from the outside, especially in submerged or confined spaces. UCC is one of the few underwater construction contractors in the U.S. with the expertise to perform internal carbon fiber reinforcement, providing a durable solution where traditional methods aren’t feasible. Ideal for water intake and discharge pipes, shafts, conduits, tunnels, and other confined spaces where external access is limited, our internal carbon wrap solutions allow facility managers and engineers to extend asset life safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

Benefits of internal carbon fiber wraps include:

  • Strengthening structures without excavation or full replacement
  • Minimizing plant downtime by performing repairs in place
  • Extending service life 30-50 years
  • Maintaining structural integrity without adding bulk

Ideal Carbon Fiber Wrap Applications

There are few structures that won’t benefit from carbon fiber. During our many years providing commercial diving and construction support to help with reinforcement, our experts have found that traditional reinforcement methods with fiberglass, cement and steel require more preparation, heavy equipment and yearly maintenance. We turn to our carbon wrap solutions when projects include structures that are prone to progressive collapse and corrosion, including:

  • Slabs

  • Piers

  • Timber Piles

  • Docks

  • Dams

  • Bridges

  • Beams

  • Commercial piping

  • Shaft foundations

  • Pile foundations

  • Seawalls

  • Cement columns

  • Pen Stocks

  • Water Intake and Discharge Systems

We offer complete carbon wrap solutions to ensure that your project is 100% fortified and ready to face the elements. From inspection, planning, set-up, and installation, our team is there every step of the way. And with our partnership with DowAksa, our customers can be confident that they are receiving the very best polymer and composite materials available.

FAQs: Partnering for Commercial Diving Services

Carbon wrap solutions reinforce a wide range of structures, including columns, beams, slabs, piles, water intake and discharge systems, shafts, tunnels, conduits, and other confined spaces where external access is limited.

Yes. UCC specializes in both underwater installation and internal carbon fiber reinforcement, allowing repairs without excavation, demolition, or shutting down critical systems.

Properly installed carbon fiber wraps typically last 30–50 years, depending on environmental conditions and structural loads.

Carbon fiber can be up to 10 times stronger than steel while remaining lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and non-invasive to the structure’s exterior.

Installation timelines vary depending on the structure, access, and environmental conditions. UCC’s internal and underwater carbon fiber wrap solutions are designed for efficiency, minimizing downtime while ensuring a durable, long-lasting repair.

Yes. Internal carbon fiber installation requires certified dive teams, confined space training, custom tools, and engineered CFRP systems tailored to each project’s pressure, flow, or load requirements. UCC is one of the few contractors in the U.S. capable of performing these specialized installations safely and efficiently.

UCC uses engineered CFRP composites combined with high-performance polymer resins. These materials are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and can be coated or painted for UV protection, chemical resistance, and long-term durability.

Yes. Carbon fiber wraps can reinforce deteriorated structures, provided the surface is properly prepared. UCC assesses each project to determine the best approach for surface prep and wrap application.

All installations undergo strict QA/QC procedures, including visual inspection and, when required, non-destructive testing (NDT) to verify adhesion, thickness, and overall structural integrity.

Carbon wraps are highly resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations. They are ideal for marine, industrial, or chemical plant environments where durability and long-term performance are critical.

Yes. CFRP wraps can complement steel, epoxy, or concrete reinforcement, allowing hybrid solutions to meet unique structural requirements.

Carbon wrap solutions can be applied to single or multiple structures and phased over time. UCC can coordinate multi-year programs to strengthen assets incrementally without major operational disruption.

Absolutely. UCC applies carbon wrap solutions to new builds for added resilience or to rehabilitate aging structures, offering flexibility for a wide range of projects.
