Vali Cooper & Associates Inc. -- Construction Management Consultants -- Project Experience



Composite materials are making strong headway in construction. Lightweight substitutes for wood, concrete and steel spun off from the defense industry, composites have been used in bridge decks and for wrapping columns with carbon fiber to form a hard composite shell casing -- a versatile alternative to steel casings on bridge retrofits. Advances in technology make composites cost-effective for repair, seismic retrofit, and upgrade of structurally deficient and aging building structures. Composites can be applied to beams, panels, slabs & walls, masonry, wooden structures, shear walls, and other building elements. VC&A is the construction management expert in composite materials for building and bridge retrofits/rehabilitations. We lead the industry in providing special inspection and construction management technology for these materials.
