Fibre Concrete

The addition of polypropylene and steel fibres to a mix produces a concrete that is more resistant to cracking and has reduced bleeding and settlement. Concrete containing fibres is more resistant to abrasion and impact

Improves plastic properties of concrete

Minimizes bleeding
Minimizes plastic settlement
Reduces or eliminates plastic shrinkage cracking

Improves hardened properties of concrete

Increased impact resistance
Increased abrasion resistance

Economical

Can be used to eliminate crack control mesh in top of slabs

Safer

Eliminates explosive spalling in fires

Fibre Reinforced
Fibre reinforcement is distributed
evenly throughout the concrete mix

Mesh Reinforced
Steel reinforcement requires exact positioning to be effective

Project Spotlight

World Trade Centre Exhibition Hall Expansion - Dubai

Floors for the Exhibition hall of the World Trade Centre were cast using steel fibre concrete to cut down on reinforcement steel costs, reduce construction time and produce a more durable, crack resistant concrete.
