Topforce: What does Fibre reinforced concrete offer?
Topforce fibre reinforced concrete offers a faster build technique enabling contractors to handover sites more quickly. It improves site safety by removing trip hazards when handling steel fabric. There are also no need for steel fabric deliveries to site, cranes are not required and there is no manual handling involved. With the addition of macro fibres you can be assured the reinforcement is distributed evenly throughout the mix thus making it more effective in reducing the risk of plastic and drying shrinkage cracking.
Carbon Dioxide and Steel Prices
Based on a study by one of the UK's leading environmental consultancies, ENVIROS, macro-synthetic fibres are proven to have at least a 50% lower carbon footprint (per unit area of concrete) when compared to crack-control steel wire fabric and steel fibres.
Global steel prices have risen by 40 per cent this year. Steel production costs have more than doubled with the price of key steelmaking ingredients, such as coking coal and iron ore having jumped 200 per cent and 65 per cent respectively, as a result of this the price of steel fabric has rocketed, lead times have increased for orders.
Tarmac Topforce delivery times will be favourable when the comparing to steel equivalents helping you to get the material to your site quicker.
