SPiRe®+ Panel is a patent-pending unique high-strength high-modulus Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) panel constructed with glass roving, woven cloth, and mat, impregnated with Vinyl Ester resins. The panel is smooth on one face and has protruding T profiles on the other face. That face is also grit coated for improved bonding to concrete. The T profiles lock into the concrete and the entire panel (flat plate and T profiles) act as reinforcing elements for the new wall.
The 3-ft ( 914 mm) wide panels get connected along their long edges with a sealant to create a stiff, strong and impervious stay-in-place form in front of the deteriorated seawall or bulkhead. The annular space between the SPiRe®+ panels and the host structure can be filled with a variety of QuakeWrap® fill materials, including non-shrink grouts, epoxy grouts, resins, and concrete. The panel is equivalent to No. 5 Gr. 60 Steel rebars at a spacing of 2.5 in.
