Important results from the project
The project verified a large enough customer interest in the Tenroc technology within the market segment of strengthen and repair of industry constructions. Tenroc Technologies together with technological högskola Chalmers and Johns Bygg and Fasad will further develop the practical and technical areas such as project pointed out as key in order to that the Tenroc method will become commercially prosperous. The parties have established a competency group as well as a practical pilot project.
Expected long term effects
Tenrocs method shows to be economic sustainable and technologically competitive versus other options for strengthen and repair of which bending is the demanding factor. The market is greater than previously assumed and the need is unsaturated as well as fiber composites become more widely recognized within the construction industry. The timing for market launch the Tenrocs technique seems to be good.
Approach and implementation
The parties created a skills group that analyzed a number of actual gain items to produce value for the customer, cost estimates, and practical implementation in order to achieve a sustainable enhancement solution implemented the project. The results have been discussed with the customer in order to get direct feedback on costing´s, and adoption ability. In addition to having a desktop made of technical analysis over competing methodologies and mapping of intellectual property.
