The bi-component
Macrofiber Concrix sets new standards

Nowadays, concrete is the building material par excellence. More and more precast concrete elements are used worldwide. Façade elements, noise-protection walls alongside streets as well as the tubbings used in tunnels are all precast.

Such precast concrete elements, however, make high demands on production. To reduce the weight, the walls of such elements have to become thinner and thinner. It therefore sometimes happens that the concrete cover above the structural steel reinforcement is no longer sufficient, because perfect placement and fixation of reinforcement steel is not easy, and an...
