To understand and select the right fibre type and dosage for your project can appear to be a daunting task.
At FCS we are the fibre experts, unbiased in understanding the strengths and performance of different fibre types and how these strengths can be utilised in specific project applications to meet your needs and demands.
Our Vertex micro polypropylene, Nexus macro synthetic and APEX steel fibres are specifically designed to contribute specific properties to your concrete or screed providing toughness, durability and a potential alternative to traditional reinforcement.
All our fibres comply with CE marking and follow EN14889 “Fibres for Concrete”. Through rigorous, research & development, testing and quality assurance, our Nexus and APEX “structural” fibre solutions (class I steel fibres and class II macro fibres) are able to enhance the load bearing capacity of concrete at market leading low dosage rates – resulting in easier addition, mixing, placing and finishing of the fibre reinforced concrete.
As all our fibres are tested independently, you don’t have to worry that results are achieved from “in house” testing or only work in specific concrete mix designs.
Combine this with the experience and expertise of FCS in the design of fibre reinforced concrete and the detailed calculations we can provide as part of our service to our customers, we believe our offering and knowledge ensures you are getting the right fibre for the right job.
Vertex micro polypropylene fibres, although defined as “non-structural” in accordance with EN14889, significantly improve the characteristics and performance of a concrete or screed, enhancing the durability, abrasion, and impact resistance of a concrete. Our Vertex Screed and Vertex FF fibres are specifically developed for screeds and toppings where the specification of fibre changes to reflect the mix design and requirements of the application.
For underground and other construction, where fire and the potential for explosive spalling could occur, the inclusion of Vertex micro polypropylene fibres are able to significantly reduce damage to the concrete section.
FCS will listen to your specific engineering and construction requirements and provide advice on the advantages of adopting a fibre concrete solution. For further advice please contact us.
