Amazon Fulfilment Centre
BarChip Fibre Reinforced Concrete Flooring
BarChip MQ58 concrete fibre reinforcement was used as the primary reinforcement in Amazon’s Nova Santa Rita fulfilment centre. Opened in 2020, the 41,180 m2 distribution centre is one of Amazon’s largest in Brazil. The centre is part of the 3SB industrial park, the largest in the State, and was constructed with an investment of around R$50 million using BarChip fibre reinforced concrete flooring.
