Application: Slab-On-Ground

Project Description With unpredictable supply chain and inflationary issues over the past few years local farmers in the area have opted to forgo steel reinforcement in their concrete projects. FORTA Engineering team provided a conversion for the project when the mesh was not available. Known as the easiest mixing and finishing fiber on the market, […]

Project Description This battery plant, the first of its kind in the Midwest, is also the largest construction project in the state of Michigan for 2023-2024. The reinforcement capabilities of FORTA-FERRO will offer long term durability and increased crack control as well as improved safety onsite. Technical Specifications Fiber Reinforcement: FORTA-FERRO® 2-¼” Dosage: 5.0 lb/cu […]

Project Description This new warehouse and truck distribution center used FORTA-FERRO reinforcement fibers due to the improved impact and fatigue resistance capabilities. Without needing to wait on steel to be delivered and installed properly, this contractor was able to stay on time and on budget. Technical Specifications Fiber Reinforcement: FORTA-FERRO® 2-¼” Dosage: 3.0 lb/cu yd […]

Project Description Having used FORTA-FERRO reinforcement fibers for many years, this contractor worked with FORTA engineers to meet the loading requirements of the owners. This large manufacturing company needed to reinforce their heavily loaded floors from early onset stresses. FORTA-FERRO macro synthetic fibers are non-corrosive and provide increased fatigue and impact resistance, while enhancing the […]

Project Description This newly constructed building will be home to basketball and volleyball courts. FORTA-FERRO macro synthetic fiber was used in conjunction with traditional steel reinforcement to eliminate joints and reduce curling. The use of fibers will ensure that these courts will remain Stronger Lasting™ for many years to come. Technical Specifications Fiber Reinforcement: FORTA-FERRO® […]

Project Description The use of FORTA-FERRO reinforcement fibers allowed for faster placement of the concrete and will give owners a better wearing surface on the slab. Even though this project was completed in a Northeast winter climate, the mixing & finishing capabilities of this macro synthetic fiber grant increased ease of use and placement. Technical […]

Project Description Eliminating specified steel allowed contractors to stay on schedule and provide a safer work environment during this project. FORTA-FERRO macro synthetic fibers can be used in multiple applications and will improve fatigue resistance and impact strength. Technical Specifications Fiber Reinforcement: FORTA-FERRO® 2-¼” Dosage: 4.5 lb/cu yd Replaced: Specified 4×4 W4.0xW4.0 Delivery Method: Pumped […]

Project Description This new interior floor was designed to tie into existing concrete and would have been very difficult to use any type of traditional steel reinforcement. This project also combines two different types of finishes, and FORTA-FERRO macro synthetic fiber worked well in both situations. Technical Specifications Fiber Reinforcement: FORTA-FERRO® 2-¼” Dosage: 3.0 lb/cu […]
