SR Contractors, LLC is a dedicated specialty contractor firm focused on innovative solutions for the repair and enhancement of unreinforced masonry, concrete, and stone structures. Founded in 2002, the company emerges from the desire to tackle the challenges presented by conventional construction methods in historical buildings. With over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, the firm is recognized for its proprietary product, SR Foam—a specialized structural foam adhesive designed to offer superior performance as a structural anchorage system.
SR Foam is instrumental for reinforcing older buildings, particularly addressing the vulnerabilities of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings (URM) and under-reinforced concrete structures. This closed-cell foam has been developed to provide a cost-efficient solution that enhances the existing structural capabilities while preserving the historical integrity of buildings. Its installation is less invasive compared to competing technologies, allowing for maintained aesthetic and structural qualities in historic renovations.
Unique features of SR Foam include its high bonding strength, excellent moisture resistance, noise reduction abilities, and impressive insulation properties with a thermal performance rating of R-7 per inch of thickness. These attributes not only improve the structural stability of buildings during seismic events but also assist in complying with contemporary energy efficiency standards, qualifying for LEED points.
Recognizing the inherent hazards posed by unreinforced masonry and concrete during earthquakes, SR Contractors, LLC combines the application of SR Foam with engineered solutions to significantly enhance building resilience. Their role is to consult and support project engineers during the design phase by providing essential technical data and product specifications, ensuring optimal use in strengthening programs.
With SR Contractors, LLC, clients benefit from a collaborative approach to improving the seismic performance and extending the life of their buildings, ultimately creating safer and more durable environments for both residential and commercial properties.
