Safer, More Durable, More Ductile
Ground Support
Since the early 1990’s, fiber reinforced shotcrete has been rapidly adopted as the primary ground control in underground mining operations, so much so that today it’s used in nearly every major mining operation around the world.
Why do miners love it so much? Barchip’s synthetic fiber reinforcement provides the most ductile concrete on the planet. We’ve proven our products perform at 5mm, 40mm, even 100mm deflections. When you’re deep underground this is the performance you need to stay safe.
