Selection does not start with a brand or a price. First you have to understand the structure, the defect, the load and the service conditions — only then can you choose a system.

Expertise
Areas of work
Over the years MPKM has worked across the main areas of professional construction chemicals and composite materials: from concrete repair and protection to structural strengthening systems, composite products and raw materials for manufacturing. That makes it possible to put together a complete solution — from substrate preparation to protection of the finished structure.
Carbon-fibre strengthening of reinforced concrete
Fabrics, laminates, grids and anchor spikes with epoxy resins: higher load-bearing capacity with almost no change to the dimensions of the structure.
Anchoring and grouting
Chemical anchors, injection compounds and non-shrink grouts for equipment and bearing components.
Adhesives and sealants
Epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic, silicate and hybrid systems matched to a specific substrate and service regime.
Composite protective casings
Protection of buried steel and polyethylene pipelines from external loads where they cross roads, railways and other engineering structures.
Fibreglass profile
Long fibreglass profiles — angle, channel, I-beam, tube and flat bar — where corrosion resistance and low weight matter.
Composite channels and railings
Drainage channels and sectional railing systems for bridges, overpasses, embankments and industrial sites.
Carbon fibre and chopped fibre
Carbon roving, fabrics and tapes, chopped carbon fibre and concrete admixtures — raw materials for manufacturing and functional additives for compounds.
Core subject
Externally bonded reinforcement
Externally bonded reinforcement increases the load-bearing capacity of a reinforced concrete structure with almost no change to its dimensions or self-weight. The system is built from several elements and works only as a complete set.

How we work
From input data to application
1. Understand the structure
Purpose, geometry, reinforcement layout, concrete grade, defects, current and design loads, service conditions.
2. Choose the method
Sometimes a steel jacket, an enlarged section or work on the substrate is a better answer than a composite. The method follows from the calculation, not from habit.
3. Select the system
Fabric, laminate, grid, anchoring, resin, repair layer and fire protection are selected as one set: incompatible elements may prevent the system from delivering the effect assumed in the calculation.
4. Support the application
Technical consultations, calculation support, documentation and supervision on site. Design responsibility remains with the designer.

In practice
What the client receives
Material selection
A specific system for the given input data, with consumption rates and the sequence of layers.
Technical documentation
Data sheets, certificates, work instructions, details and the explanations you need.
Calculation support
Help for the designer with selecting properties and checking that a solution is applicable.
Application support
Guidance on substrate preparation, application, quality control and fire protection.
