A new era of strength and sustainability
In today’s fast-paced construction industry, innovation is key to building stronger, longer-lasting, and more resilient structures. One of the groundbreaking advancements reshaping construction practices is the integration of synthetic fibres into concrete reinforcement. These fibres are not only transforming the very fabric of our buildings but also paving the way for sustainable and cost-efficient construction solutions. From crack prevention to enhanced durability, synthetic fibre-reinforced concrete is revolutionising how we build, and companies like PlusNet/Geotex are leading the charge.
The power of synthetic fibres in concrete
Concrete has long been a staple in construction, but traditional steel reinforcements come with limitations, such as susceptibility to corrosion and shrinkage cracks. This is where synthetic fibres offer a modern solution. By weaving a three-dimensional network within the concrete, these fibres strengthen the material and provide significant advantages in various applications:
⦁ Crack Control and Prevention: Synthetic fibres act as internal reinforcement, reducing the likelihood of cracks forming due to stress or environmental conditions.
⦁ Enhanced tensile strength: By boosting the tensile strength, fibre-reinforced concrete can withstand greater forces, making it ideal for high-stress environments.
⦁ Shrinkage crack reduction: The fibres mitigate shrinkage during the curing process, ensuring smoother, more durable surfaces without visible cracks.
⦁ Impact and abrasion resistance: Fibre-reinforced concrete is more resistant to surface damage from heavy traffic or impacts, extending the lifespan of industrial floors and pavements.
⦁ Corrosion resistance: Unlike steel, synthetic fibres do not corrode, making them perfect for structures in coastal or humid regions.
⦁ Fire and temperature resistance: Some synthetic fibres offer fire resistance, increasing safety in high-risk environments.
⦁ Sustainability: Fibre concrete reinforcement requires less energy-intensive materials, aligning with eco-friendly building practices.
