Cost Estimate for FRP Laminate installation and near surface mounted FRP rod/bar installation?

Cost Estimate for FRP Laminate installation and near surface mounted FRP rod/bar installation?

Cost Estimate for FRP Laminate installation and near surface mounted FRP rod/bar installation?

(OP)
I'm just looking for a ballpark figure for square foot cost for labor and materials for retrofitting unreinforced masonry (URM) walls with externally bonded FRP laminates and perhaps a per linear foot labor and material cost for retrofitting URM walls with NSM FRP rods. Can anyone get me in the ballpark? Thanks!

RE: Cost Estimate for FRP Laminate installation and near surface mounted FRP rod/bar installation?

I assume this for the US?

For CMU with surface-mounted wet-layup FRP ballpark cost (material supply and labor install) is $25/SF based upon prepared surface area. Assuming FRP is carbon.

Above price does not include any fire-related coating for smoke-developed or flame-spread, nor fire resistance.

For NSM pultruded bars varies depending if glass or carbon is used. I am a bit out of touch with current pultruded bar pricing so I cannot help you there.
