Reinforced with BarChip Synthetic Fiber

BarChip structural synthetic fiber was used as the sole reinforcement in over 40,000 m2 of the Logistic Hub’s concrete flooring;

By incorporating the use of Barchip’s synthetic fiber reinforcement, flooring contractors Savekate were able to realise a number of benefits;

• Eliminated the placement, storage and transport of steel mesh
• Increased durability and eliminated the risk of corrosion. Barchip’s synthetic fiber is inert and will never rust.
• Increased concrete toughness
• Increased on-site productivity
• Reduced overall costs
• Improved temperature and shrinkage crack control

Since construction in 2007 – 08 the concrete flooring has performed perfectly. The selection of BarChip synthetic fiber as the primary concrete reinforcement eliminated significant man hours during construction and since construction in 2008 there have been no maintenance or serviceability issues with the BarChip reinforced concrete sections.
