Can Barchip synthetic fibres be used for reinforcing concrete or shotcrete on an embankment?
A. Yes. Additionally, this is accompanied by the benefit of reducing the concrete consumption. Usually mesh can never be placed at a fixed distance from the rock due to the irregular contours of the final face and this always results in excessive concrete being placed to ensure adequate cover over the mesh. Through the use of fibres, the required thickness can be applied without the necessity of trying to cover poorly-positioned mesh.
