Barchip Synthetic Fiber Reinforcement used as the primary reinforcement in the Cast In Place Final Lining at the Euclid Creek Starter and Exit Tunnels.
BarChip structural synthetic fiber was chosen to meet the design life requirements, eliminate the risk of salt water corrosion and improve the structural integrity of the substrate.
TCP designs optimise the dimensions of concrete pavement slabs. TCP slabs are smaller than typical concrete slabs which allows them to better share the load of heavy vehicles
Methven (2004) shows that fiber reinforced shotcrete (FRS) has significantly faster development times compared with mesh and bolt ground support systems.
Barchip’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement was used as the reinforcement in the sprayed lining, cast in-situ lining and invert segments of the Oliola water tunnel.
