Macrofiber Concrix sets new standards and reduces production cost

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

But these precast concrete elements make high demands on production. To reduce the weight, the walls of such elements have to be made increasingly thinner. It therefore sometimes happens that the concrete cover of the steel reinforcement is insufficient, because perfect placement and fixation of the reinforcement steel is not easy, leading to corrosion of the steel and,...
