PlanitopHPC, from Mapei, is the ideal solution for repair and strengthening.
PlanitopHPC is a two-component fluid mortar suitable for casting into formwork withoutthe risk of the mortar segregating. Areas up to 40 mm thick can be cast withoutusing reinforcing steel; for thicker areas, it is possible to use suitablereinforcement steel.
Where to use
Thissolution can be used for repairing and strengthening of concrete structuresthat require the use of a free-flowing, ultra-high performance and highductility mortar without using reinforcing steel in order to limit thethickness applied. Some application examples are:
-
Seismic upgrading of elements subjectedto high stresses where high ductility is required.
-
Structural strengthening by claddingreinforced cement pillars and beams.
-
Repairing the lower spigots onpre-compressed viaduct beams.
-
Reconstructing and levelling off theupper parts of pulvinos and bearing elements of piles for motorway viaducts.
-
Reinstating floor slabs after removingdeteriorated areas by scarifying.

Advantage over the carbon fibreapplications system
-
Fire resistance system which, in placeof carbon fibre, needs to do extra protection.
-
Can increase more Flexure strength thencarbon fibre system.
-
Can increase more Compression strengththen carbon fibre system.
