The Benefits of Synthetic Fibres in Concrete for
Flood and Coastal Civil Engineering
Richard Briers
ADFIL UK Ltd
Fibre Reinforced Concrete
• Application has had a lot of recent publicity.
• These environments require very durable
concrete due to high energy wave action and
abrasion from gravel/stone impacts.
• Salt water environment makes conventional
steel reinforcement highly susceptible to
corrosion, vastly reducing the service life of the
installation.
• Environment Agency have issued a directive to
eliminate the use of conventional steel as
much as practicable in these applications.
Flood & Coastal Concrete
Reinforced with Macro Fibres
Macro Fibre Micro Fibre
Manufactured to EN 14889 Part 2
CE certified
BBA Certified
Macro are 30mm to 48mm long
with 60,000 filaments per Kg
Micro are 6mm to 18mm long with
250,000,000 filaments per Kg
Enhanced durability - Impact and abrasion resistance
Reduced plastic settlement and
cracking
Not subject to Corrosion
Reduced Health and Safety considerations
Reduced Carbon Footprint
Construction Cost & Time Savings
Industry Acceptance
