Low Cost, Environmentally Friendly Concrete Reinforcement
By its very nature capital infrastructure works are expensive, and maintenance is becoming more expensive. In the United States alone the estimated cost to repair corroded infrastructure is $300 billion annually. There is a better way.
EPC’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement can reduce construction times, reduce labour and material costs and significantly decrease ongoing maintenance costs. Reinforce your concrete with a material that delivers higher concrete ductility, eliminates time consuming steel processes, lowers your environmental impact, and most importantly will never suffer from corrosion. Reinforce with EPC’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement.
EPC’s macro synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement conforms with international design methodologies and standards from bodies such as DBV, RILEM, CNR, ACI, ITAtech and the UK Concrete Society.
Our experienced team can guide you through the design process, providing comparative analysis, structural design and where appropriate complex finite element analysis (FEA). When you design with EPC, you design with confidence.
Background information on the use of macro synthetic fiber reinforced concrete is given in; The UK Concrete Society’s TR 65 – Guidance on the use of Macro-synthetic FRC, April 2007.
