Banking center strengthened with MAPEI’s CFRP products
Scotiabank’s concourse and ground levels at Scotia Plaza in Toronto are undergoing structural strengthening in order to increase the live load capabilities of the floors to greater than 50 lbs. per square foot. The center’s vertical support columns are being strengthened by MAPEI’s MapeWrap C Uni-Ax 300 and MapeWrap C Uni-Ax 600 uni-directional carbon fiber fabrics in combination with MapeWrap resins. Two pultruded carbon fiber plates – MAPEI’s Carboplate E 200 and Carboplate E 250 – are being used on the floors themselves and on the underside of load-bearing beams on the two levels. The Carboplate products on the floors are being covered with MAPEI’s Planibond EBA bonding agent and Topcem Premix screed to provide a flat, level surface for floor coverings.
MAPEI products used:
• Carboplate™ E 250 (100 mm and 150 mm plates) • Carboplate E 200 (50 mm, 100 mm and 150 mm plates) • MapeWrap™ C Fiocco anchors • MapeWrap C Uni-Ax 300 • MapeWrap C Uni-Ax 600 • MapeWrap Primer 1 • MapeWrap 11 • MapeWrap 31 • Topcem™ Premix • Planibond ® EBA
