Project Description
The Jehovah’s Witnesses replaced specified steel with FORTA-FERRO macro synthetic fibers in their pavement parking lot project at Kingdom Hall in Lawrenceville, GA. The original design showed a 3.0 lb/cu yd FORTA-FERRO conversion. However, two consultants from SSI recommended a 5.0 lb/cu yd dosage for this project totaling 3750 lb of concrete. By using fibers, less labor and set up time was needed. This shaved many days off the schedule because the paving was complete days sooner so the parking lot could be used by the congregation sooner. An interesting fact is the project was constructed, placed, and finished by the people of the church.
