Project Description
This ongoing project in Columbus, OH, replacing both parking lots and loading area for the Old Dominion Freight Line, specified FORTA-FERRO macro synthetic fibers be used in its slab-on metal-deck applications. The project is 10,000 cu yd and uses a dosage of 5.0 to 7.5 lb/cu yd of fiber depending on the area and the loads that will be going on the pavement. By using FORTA-FERRO fibers, the owners increased the durability of the concrete for surface toughness and crack control. In addition, the contractors on the project loved the workability and finish they achieved by using our fibers. In the end, the pavement in all the loading areas and parking lots on the Old Dominion Line will be replaced with fiber.
Key Points:
- Reduced Shrinkage Cracking
- Superior Finish
- Increased Durability
