Synthetic Fibre Reinforcement Replacing Steel in Tunnel Designs

The change to EPC’s Barchip synthetic fibre reinforcement in tunnelling and underground construction has grown significantly over the past decade, with EPC’s barchip synthetic fibres specified to replace steel fibre and mesh in hundreds of kilometres of tunnelling works.
EPC's development of ground breaking high performance fibres and finite element designs have resulted in BarChip synthetic fibre reinforcement being used in Sprayed Concrete Linings, Cast In Situ Linings and Segmental Linings.
