The use of synthetic fibre reinforcement in Tarmac Special Concrete products provides a significant embedded carbon saving compared to conventional steel mesh reinforcement.
About
The use of synthetic macro fibres to replace conventional steel mesh reinforcement can result in an embedded carbon saving of up to 56% by comparison. This gives Tarmac the opportunity to supply specified composite value added products to their Customers which contain the reinforcement on delivery to site.
Key Benefits
Construction Companies are able to capitalise on a significant carbon saving for projects where ADFIL can provide assured design support to replace conventional steel mesh reinforcement with DURUS synthetic macro fibres. Along side the documented carbon savings, macro fibre reinforcement eliminates the need for time consuming transport, handling, cutting and fixing of steel mesh, as the required reinforcement is contained within the concrete on delivery to site.
Applications
DURUS Synthetic Macro Fibres can be used in a wide range of reinforced concrete applications to suit the end user.
