Synthetic fiber reinforced precast elements in infrastructure building
The use of precast elements in the infrastructure construction sector is not really new. For many years, relatively small components have been used for manholes, sewers, and slabs designed to carry vehicle traffic for slab track systems – as have larger elements for tunnel construction, such as tunnel segments. The reason for this is obvious: precast elements are manufactured in production halls under strict, uniform conditions, thus ensuring consistent quality. This is virtually impossible to achieve with in-situ construction – owing to weather influences alone.
