FSC Technologies has developed innovative structural technologies compliant with the new environmental requirementsThe fields of application range from the construction industry, to mechanics, aerospace, and energyFSC supports the producers in the product/structure design and development, licenses the product technology and provides the machines for the application of the technologiesTHE TECHNOLOGIESThey are based on "wrapping in tension" of concrete or non-concrete objects with "fiber impregnated with resin"The more it wraps, the more it compresses the element, the more flexural strength the element is givenIt is, therefore, able to impart enormous flexural strength to concrete objects, using a small amount of fiber and resinTRL (Technology Readiness Level) is between 7 and 9 based on the applicationCONSEQUENCES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION WORLDThe consequences for the construction world are enormous:•It means abandoning steel as a reinforcement and therefore overcoming the problems of corrosion, durability, fire resistance, and concrete cover.•Ability to use PH neutral cement that has a lower CO2 footprint and significantly improves sustainability. They cannot be used in the presence of traditional steel reinforcement as they do not protect against corrosion•Ability to make concrete structures with ductility similar to that of steel structures, with all that this entails in the seismic and non-seismic environment•The functional characteristics of existing products/structures are improved, and it is also possible to create new products and structures that cannot be produced with current technologies•Build prefabricated structures equipped with mechanical connections capable of transferring enormous tensile and bending loads•Enable a giant step in the industrialization of the construction sectorFOR THE MECHANICAL, AEROSPACE, ENERGY INDUSTRIESOur technologies open up applications both for high temperatures and as a replacement for forged steel
