Faster Construction. Lower Costs.
With Barchip Concrete Reinforcement
Low Cost, Environmentally Friendly Concrete Reinforcement
By its very nature capital infrastructure works are expensive, and maintenance is becoming more expensive. In the United States alone the estimated cost to repair corroded infrastructure is $300 billion annually. There is a better way.
Barchip’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement can reduce construction times, reduce labour and material costs and significantly decrease ongoing maintenance costs. Reinforce your concrete with a material that delivers higher concrete ductility, eliminates time consuming steel processes, lowers your environmental impact, and most importantly will never suffer from corrosion. Reinforce with Barchip’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement.

Roadway Paving
Barchip’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement has been used in hundreds of kilometers of concrete roadways. Our fibers improve fatigue resistance, eliminate costly steel processes, and lower pavement cost.
Using the TCP Paving system concrete pavements are up to 20% cheaper, 10cm thinner and can be laid on poor quality ground conditions.
Concrete Track Slab
Concrete track slab allows for increased train speeds, reduced track maintenance and increases the track design life by decades.
Barchip’s high performance concrete reinforcement eliminates difficult steel installation, reducing construction time and cost. Furthermore, issues with corrosion are eliminated and problems from stray currents are greatly reduced.

Civil Works
A standard culvert (left) would normally need 2 to 3 days for a 4-man crew to form, pour and finish. Using Barchip’s synthetic fiber reinforced shotcrete, all 4 banks of this job were completed by 1 operator in just 1 day.
How much could you save with these productivity increases?
Marine Infrastructure
All concrete exposed to marine environments have one thing in common – corrosion. No matter what expensive solution you try, chances are your concrete will still suffer from corrosion.
Completely remove any risk of corrosion by using Barchip’s rust free, high performance concrete reinforcement.

Precast Works
Barchip’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement can increase production output of precast elements by 50%. Our fiber reinforcement eliminates corrosion and reduces damage from impact and transport.
