The Atlanta Plane Train Tunnel West Extension used fibre reinforced shotcrete for primary ground support beneath one of the world’s busiest airports.
The Downtown Bellevue Tunnel (DBT) demonstrates how performance-based specifications and BarChip fibre reinforced shotcrete helped achieve on-time, under-budget delivery.
BarChip macro synthetic fibre is simplifying track slab construction on the Gold Coast Light Rail by eliminating steel reinforcement and saving time on site.
Micro and macro synthetic fibres play very different roles in concrete. This article explains how each fibre works, where it should be used, and why choosing the wrong fibre leads to costly performance issues.
BarChip fibre reduced reinforcement carbon footprint by 75% in Morningstar’s new monolithic slab, eliminated 37,000 lbs of steel and shortened construction time for the contractor.
Pageland Dragstrip upgraded its deteriorating asphalt surface with a 6-inch BarChip MQ58 fiber reinforced concrete slab, delivering improved durability, long-term performance and a clean, fiber-free finish.
When it comes to fibre reinforced concrete flooring, BarChip MQ58 sets itself apart by delivering a unique triple benefit package.
In total, 438.7 tonnes of steel reinforcement was replaced with just 19 tonnes of BarChip48 macro synthetic fibre. Along with simplified logistics and faster construction, this change resulted in a direct carbon reduction of 900 tCO2-eq.
Find out how BarChip fibre enables low carbon concrete by eliminating steel reinforcement, reducing material use and supporting efficient, durable designs that cut embodied carbon across every stage of construction.
The global push to decarbonise steel is facing setbacks, with rising costs and infrastructure challenges stalling major projects. This industry insight explores why low-carbon steel remains a long-term challenge and highlights macro synthetic fibres as a proven, immediate alternative for sustainable concrete reinforcement.
Sustainable construction demands more than low carbon. This article highlights 7 ways BarChip fibre enables sustainable concrete solutions that deliver measurable sustainability outcomes across the life cycle of concrete projects.
