Over 4 Million Square Metres of Flooring Worldwide

BarChip Flooring Manual

Barchip has successfully reinforced over 4 million square metres of flooring works globally. BarChip synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement is used to replace welded wire mesh in commercial and industrial flooring, residential flooring, hardstands, metal deck and other slab on grade applications.

Over the past 20 years thousands of companies have made the switch to the synthetic fiber reinforcement system, which delivers multiple benefits to your concrete asset;

Eliminates corrosion of crack control mesh
Eliminates the risk of concrete cancer
Reduces crack propagation
Increases production speeds as much as 50%
Increases flexural toughness

Increases impact resistance
Increases fatigue strength
Reduces labour costs
Reduces material handling and transport costs
Reduces equipment maintenance
Provides up to 70% reduction in carbon footprint

Double Your Production Speeds

Traditionally concrete flooring requires the installation of large amounts of steel reinforcement. Barchip’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement eliminates this process.

When the 155,000 m² HABOM aircraft facility in Turkey upgraded to Barchip’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement they saw a drastic increase in production. 12 man crews moved from pouring 800 m²/day to between 1200 m² and 1600 m²/day.

Eliminate Transport and Storage Costs

Barchip’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement is added at the batch plant and delivered to site ready mixed and ready reinforced, eliminating steel transport and storage costs.

One pallet of Barchip’s concrete reinforcement is enough to reinforce up to 20 full concrete trucks.
