SPRAYED CONCRETE & SHOTCRETE

Over the past 20 years, there has been a significant implementation of various types of Fibers into sprayed concrete and Shotcrete. The time and labor extensive set up of conventional steel WWM both above or under the ground has been identified. Construction companies have, therefore, made the switch to fiber reinforcements. 

ENGINEERING ENHANCEMENTS

Improved Ductility and load distribution

Thorough dispersion & bonding of i3P's concrete fibers in Concrete Tunnel linings ensure wider load distribution. This leads to optimal support to soil or rock deformations in the ground.

Economic Shotcreting Solution

Elimination of time & labor extensive steel mesh leads to a discounted overall project cost. Concrete fibers reduce maintenance cost imparted by wear on machines caused by Steel fiber shotcreting. The possibility of rejected fittings & precast elements faced in mesh reinforced shotcrete is also minimized.

Rust Free construction

Be it Steel Meshes or Steel fibers, the Electrical and magnetic Conductive properties of steel make them a liability for deep underground mining and tunneling applications.
Steel is prone to chemical corrosion; however, the Inert nature of i3P's concrete fibers combined with high performance guarantees remarkable reinforcement even in corrosive underground environments.

A safe & efficient shotcrete solution

i3P's concrete fibers provide a very safe underground shotcrete processing solution. The low weight of these fibers negates the possibility of concrete collapses and provides firm and safe protection from rock falls. i3P's fiber-reinforced concrete’s high working capacity & smooth finish provides a productive alternative for Culverts, slope stabilizations, and concrete repair works.

i3P's concrete fibers are a fast-mixing & dispersing fiber product that impart low rebound and a reduced tendency of clumping.
