Strengthen with confidence.

Strengthen with composites.

Expert-led composite strengthening, from first enquiry to completed installation.

Explore composite strengthening

Composite strengthening is one of the most proven structural solutions in modern construction. Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) systems have been used on bridges, car parks, industrial buildings, historic structures and high-rise projects around the world for decades, extending the life of structures, increasing their capacity and avoiding costly demolition.

Yet across Europe, the UK and the UAE, many engineers and contractors still hesitate to specify them.

Compic exists to change that. With a heritage stretching back to the late 1980s and 32 years of combined design and management experience, we give consulting engineers and construction companies the knowledge, technical support and practical tools to specify, design and deliver composite strengthening with confidence.

Let's Clear Up the Myths:

Composite strengthening is growing quickly, and misinformation has grown with it. Poor advice from inexperienced suppliers and designers has left some professionals unsure what to believe. Here is what the evidence says.

It’s too complicated.

Composite strengthening follows established design principles and published guidance, including fib Bulletin 90, Concrete Society TR55 and ACI 440. With the right technical support, specification and design are straightforward, and installation is often faster and less disruptive than traditional methods.

It’s untested.

Composite strengthening has a long track record worldwide, backed by extensive research, testing and internationally recognised design guidance. Hundreds of completed projects in the UK and globally show it is a mature solution that is widely and successfully used.

It’s too expensive.

Look at the whole project, not just the material cost. Composites are lightweight, need little or no formwork and add negligible dead load. They also reduce programme time and disruption to occupants, and they often avoid the heavy plant and structural alterations that conventional strengthening requires.

Any supplier can advise on it.

They can’t. Composite strengthening is a specialist discipline, and poor advice leads to poor outcomes. That is why expert-led support matters.

Experience That Counts:

Composite strengthening is a specialist discipline, and experience is what separates a successful scheme from a costly one.

A heritage from the late 1980s. Our roots go back to the earliest days of composite strengthening in construction, so we have seen the technology mature and know what works.

32 years of combined design and management experience. Our team brings together hands-on structural design and project management expertise, so our advice is practical, buildable and defensible.

What We Do:

Compic provides specialist support across the full lifecycle of a composite strengthening project:

Contractor and installer support

The information and training you need to plan and deliver work to a high standard.

Collateral warranties

 Where your project requires them, we can provide collateral warranties, giving clients, contractors and funders the assurance they need.

Specification and system selection:

Helps choose the right composite system for your structure, substrate and performance requirements.

Knowledge and education

Straightforward resources, case studies and CPD-style content that replace guesswork with evidence.

Who We Work With:

Consulting Engineers

Who need reliable technical support and defensible specifications.

Construction and refurbishment contractors

Who want efficient, well-supported delivery on site.

Developers, asset owners and facilities teams

Who want to extend the life of their buildings and infrastructure cost-effectively.

Why Choose Compic:

Proven expertise. A heritage dating back to the late 1980s. Our advice comes from people with real, hands-on experience of composite strengthening, not generic sales support.

Accountable design. When we design, we stand behind it, with the warranties to prove it.

Built to recognised standards. Our work follows fib Bulletin 90, Concrete Society TR55 and ACI 440, so you can specify with confidence.

Built around your project. Every structure is different. We help you find the right solution rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all product.

Clarity over complexity. We explain the technical points plainly, so you can make decisions and justify them to clients, contractors and approvers.

A regional perspective. We understand the standards, climates and market conditions of Europe, the UK and the UAE, from European and UK design guidance to the demands of high-temperature environments in the Gulf.
