In total, 438.7 tonnes of steel reinforcement was replaced with just 19 tonnes of BarChip48 macro synthetic fibre. Along with simplified logistics and faster construction, this change resulted in a direct carbon reduction of 900 tCO2-eq.
Find out how BarChip fibre enables low carbon concrete by eliminating steel reinforcement, reducing material use and supporting efficient, durable designs that cut embodied carbon across every stage of construction.
Sustainable construction demands more than low carbon. This article highlights 7 ways BarChip fibre enables sustainable concrete solutions that deliver measurable sustainability outcomes across the life cycle of concrete projects.
BarChip reduce carbon footprint of shotcrete ground support by over 70 million kg of carbon.
BarChip macro synthetic fibre enabled a thin shell precast concrete dome design, reducing concrete thickness from 150 mm to 50 mm.
