Description
Blue Royal Dairy Farms poured a new feed storage slab in Reedsville, WI. The contractor, St. Louis Construction, sees the benefits with fiber reinforcement in large agricultural projects. The original design called for #5 Rebar 10” on center, but with labor shortages and material delays, a conversion to FORTA-FERRO was the clear choice. Using macro synthetic fibers was extremely efficient and beneficial for all involved. It helped keep the project on schedule, and provided cost savings over the originally-specified rebar.
