Whenever we talk with design and industry professionals like yourself, about the concrete’s reinforcement, we hear this consistent message (And, rightfully so!):
Since you’re reviewing a Fiber Reinforcement website, you’re obviously trying to see what’s new and innovative; hoping to learn more, and provide the best reinforcement for your project as possible, but you may be asking yourself: "How could discontinuous, synthetic reinforcement, actually be a better, higher performing choice over steel? We’ve been specifying steel for years and years…"
It’s a great question. In today’s technologically advanced world, many new things are being discovered every day. In the case of Fiber Reinforcement, this has been studied for many years now, and has gained exponential acceptance just in the last few years. The reason: there are literally thousands of projects, from SOG Flatwork, Precast Products, Poured Walls, and even Mining Applications (just to name a few) where the Fiber has been in place for years, and proving itself to be provide the level of performance and quality that you demand!
It’s no longer just a lab or a university test touting the value and benefits of Fiber, (although very important to make sure the Fiber you do select is able to provide the level of reinforcement you need), but rather, FiberWorx Fibers are Field Proven; providing the quality and long-term benefits you can now recommend and specify with confidence.
