Project Name:   Fatzer AG – steel ropes production hall

Location: Romanshorn, Switzerland

Application: In situ concrete – industrial slabs

Economical and technical alternative to conventional double layer steel reinforcement is a macrofiber reinforced concrete slab. Calculation based on latest European standards and the good performance of the bi-component synthetic fiber guarantee a long life existing industrial slab which reduces maintenance works and costs for the clients.

Especially the joint-less solution with field sizes up to 35 x 30 m
In combination with steel joint profiles helps a lot for reducing maintenance costs.
This slab was made for loadings up to 52 tons heavy ropes bobbins. Thickness is 26 cm and field size made with 23 x 20 m.

Outcomes:

• Economical solution compare with alternative steel reinforcement
• No corrosion
• No early shrinkage cracks
• Joint-less or cutting joint solution possible
• Abrasion solid surface
