Fibre Reinforced Monolithic Slab – Morningstar Storage
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.
Port Chalmers Fibre Concrete Track Slab
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.
Low Carbon Concrete Reinforcement
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.
Decarbonising Concrete Reinforcement
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.
