Project Description
Fibers were specified for an exterior paving application of the truck dock and ramp at a 60,000 – 92,000 sq ft warehouse facility in Forsyth County, GA. FORTA-FERRO macro synthetic fibers were used at a dosage of 3.0 lb/cu yd in this pavement application that totaled 22,758 sq ft. FORTA-FERRO macro fibers were used to add toughness and increase crack control. Since this large facility has high volume traffic consistently picking-up and dropping-off loads, FORTA-FERRO was chosen to increase the impact resistance and durability of the paving slab. A broom finish was applied resulting in a superior finish with minimal surface fibers. The contraction joints were very clean and do not show any raveling.
Key Points
- Increased Durability
- Reduced Cracking & Raveling
- Superior Finish
