Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) combines concrete with fibrous materials to deliver improved residual strength, durability and crack control. This guide explains how FRC works, the different types of fibres available, and the key benefits and applications that make it a versatile, cost-effective and sustainable solution for modern construction.
In an American First, the Blacksnake Creek Tunnel incorporates 100% BarChip synthetic fibre reinforced concrete for the precast concrete tunnel segments.
In an Australian first, the Sydney metro concrete track slab replaces steel with corrosion free BarChip synthetic fibre. Find out more.
BarChip synthetic fibre concrete reinforcement replaces steel reinforcement at the Ausgrid substation in Sydney, Australia, eliminating the risk of corrosion and electrical current surges through the paving.
BarChip macro synthetic fibre was incorporated into large sections of both the concrete roadways and facility floor flabs. BarChip was able to be used in both repair topping slabs and newly constructed pavements which offered great versatility to the project.
