Macro Structural Polypropylene Fibre is highly ductile and adaptable to varying ground conditions and decreases both development time and maintenance closures. Safety at the mine face and operational productivity has significantly increased post-introduction of these fibres.
FibreTuff structural fibres have proven to be the best choice in tough environments like ground deformations, as mining continues deeper underground resulting in highly demanding reinforcement systems. FibreTuff structural fibre significantly improves concrete ductility and enables controlled movement that allows for visual inspections of placed shotcrete.
Testing at both 40 mm and 100 mm deflections shows FibreTuff does not corrode and maintains performance across the full range of deflection.
