Fiber Reinforced Precast Concrete
Barchip’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement is premixed with the concrete and delivered straight to the precast mould, eliminating the steel installation process. Our precast clients have achieved a 50% increase in production output and total cost savings of nearly 40%.
How long does it take to install standard steel reinforcement in your precast moulds? How much would your output increase if you removed this process completely?

50% Increase in Production Speeds
Eliminate the need for storage and installation of standard steel reinforcement in precast elements.
Project experience has shown that Barchip’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement can increase precast production speeds by nearly 50%.
Lower Your Costs
Our macro synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement delivers more than just increased production speeds.
Labour costs reduced
Material costs reduced
Transportation Costs Reduced
Storage costs reduced
Element Breakage is reduced

Reduce Element Thickness
Barchip’s 3-D reinforcement system is mixed throughout the entire structure, eliminating concrete cover requirements. In many cases this will allow for a reduction in element thickness and a reduction in weight.
Debrecen stadium in Hungary incorporated our fibers into the design of the precast seating elements, reducing thickness from 22 cm to 12 cm in the process. In Thailand, precast coastal domes were used to prevent erosion. Our fibers allowed for a reduction in thickness from 150 mm to 50 mm.
Rust Free – Long Lasting Concrete
Barchip’s macro synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement will never rust and will continue to perform for the full life of the concrete.
Many precast items are exposed to the elements and corrosive environments, none of which will affect the long term performance of our fibers.
Durable, long lasting, low maintenance concrete.
