Applications include:
Fibre reinforced shotcrete for use in both long and short term ground support for both access and production areas, including bulkheads; tunnel pavements; workshop floors; access roads; hardstand areas; crusher foundations; refuelling and wash-down slabs.

High performance, QA guaranteed, Dramix® Steel fibres are commonly used in both dry and wet sprayed concrete to replace the traditional and complicated 1 or 2 layers of mesh reinforcement, thereby providing substantial technical, economical and safety benefit for shotcrete. New in the product range are the Synmix® structural macro fibres, which are used in ground support and other applications where significant deflections, rotations, crack widths and ongoing creep are not of concern.

Steel fibres in slabs can either work with conventional mesh/bar to give tighter crack control and enhanced durability or they can completely replace mesh/bar to provide slabs that are not only easier and faster to construct but offer enhanced performance in terms of load carrying capacity, impact resistance and fatigue performance.
