Concrete Solutions™ is certified in the use of Fyfe Co USA, the manufacture of Tyfo and also IRP Certified for the use of Fibre Reinforced Polymers (FRP).
Tyfo® systems have the added
advantage of being lighter, less intrusive, non-corrosive
and in some cases stronger. For the use in strengthening
of buildings, bridges, civil structures and seismic loadings.
Tyfo® Fibrwrap® Systems
The Tyfo® Fibrwrap® Systems are
comprised of specialized fabrics and resins, which in unique
combination, create tested and proven composites. Carbon,
glass or aramid reinforcing fibres are combined with high
quality resins to produce a multitude of high performance
FRP strengthening systems which give design engineers a
wide range of options to meet the individual needs of a project.
Tyfo® FRP Systems have successful
performance records with nearly two decades of use. This
includes extensive testing as well as performing as designed
during seismic events on three continents.

In the late 1980’s Ed Fyfe of Fyfe Co was approached by the California Transportation Authority to provide an alternative product to the heavy and cumbersome steel jacketing installed on highway bridge columns which provide ductility in the event of seismic activity. After rigorous testing the result was a specially engineered fabric together with a highly durable epoxy resin which exceeded expectations in its performance and properties. Since then the now branded Tyfo® FRP (Fibre Reinforced Polymer) systems have been further developed and tested to meet a multitude of engineering seismic retrofit requirements. The Tyfo® system has now been installed on thousands of projects around the world and is recognised as the market leader.
