BarChip Fibre Concrete The BarChip Fibre Concrete Dashboard makes planning for a fibre reinforced concrete structure easier than it’s ever been. Using custom calculators based on ACI 544 and TR34 v4 design methodologies, you can easily determine the feasibility of BarChip fibre concrete on your project. The BarChip Fibre Concrete Dashboard can help you determine optimal fibre dose rates and thicknesses for Bending Moment and Shrinkage control scenarios and the Optimised Flooring tool will help you determine dosages and thicknesses as well as different loading scenarios for your selected inputs. About BarChip For over 100 years the technology behind concrete reinforcement has barely changed. It’s expensive, labour intensive and suffers from corrosion. We set out to create the next generation of concrete reinforcement, a reinforcement for the 21st century. We created BarChip synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement. Our innovative spirit was critical to the development of our first synthetic fiber. Yes, it prevented concrete cancer, but the overall performance of the fiber reinforced concrete was still not enough to revolutionize the world. We embraced that spirit of innovation and launched the Future Fiber Research and Development Program. Through the Future Fiber Program we conducted thousands of trials and pioneered nearly every development in synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement technology. We improved product performance to levels previously not thought possible and established our synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement as the most reliable and highest performing fiber reinforcement in the world. We believe that long term business relationships can only be sustained by a commitment to provide the highest quality products and services and by adding long term value to our customer’s business. The achievement of these objectives is directly linked to our ability to deliver creative and cost effective solutions to our customers, designed to assist them in meeting their business goals safely. Today our synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement is used across every major construction sector in over 20 countries. Thousands of companies around the world have made the switch to the synthetic fiber reinforcement system.
