Concrete Column Urethane Reinforcement Method "Gankyō Column"
Inject rigid polyurethane resin into existing concrete columns for reinforcement with a short construction period. Prevent the collapse of concrete columns during natural disasters.
Natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons have caused utility poles to fall, obstructing emergency vehicles and delaying recovery efforts, which has become a social issue. In recent years, accidents have also occurred where strong winds have caused utility poles to fall, leading to traffic disruptions and damage to buildings and homes. Upcon has developed a concrete pole reinforcement method called "Sturdy Pole," which increases the destructive load capacity of existing concrete poles to prevent collapse. The "Sturdy Pole" method involves injecting high-strength foam polyurethane resin, specifically developed for reinforcement, into the hollow section of existing concrete poles, achieving a short construction period and ease of installation. This method increases the strength of existing concrete poles without the need for replacement. Since there is no need for removal, it helps reduce construction time and costs while also contributing to the resilience of the national infrastructure. 【Features】 1. Short construction period Special polyurethane resin is injected, quickly filling the cavity with foaming and expansion pressure. 2. Easy installation Only drilling and injection into the existing concrete poles are required, allowing for installation by a small team. 3. Suitable for narrow spaces Reinforcement in narrow areas or along major roads where replacing existing concrete poles is difficult can be easily accomplished. ■ More details can also be viewed in the PDF data.
