Once the desired load requirements have been determined, VSL offers access to reinforcing systems and the latest advancements in composite technology to help evaluate multiple strengthening options in order to produce the most cost-effective solution.

Unparalleled Experience

Structural Preservation Systems (SPS) brings the knowledge and experience of more than 14,000 successful repair and strengthening projects to help balance issues related to constructability and sequencing, while also addressing non-technical matters such as safety, economics, access and aesthetics.

Upon selection of the strengthening method, SPS extensively preplans all aspects of the repair strategy, then assembles crews of SPS employees who are trained in specialized techniques and can work around the clock, 365 days a year, to safely complete projects under the tightest schedules and toughest working conditions.
