Steel Fibre
Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete is pre-reinforced at the plant, making it easier to place, faster to build, and more cost-effective than traditional slab systems.
Our Services for Steel Fibre
Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete is a modern alternative to traditional mesh-reinforced slabs. By incorporating steel fibres directly into the concrete mix during batching, it delivers faster placement, improved safety, and greater on-site efficiency. This solution is ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial floors, offering a simpler and often more cost-effective approach to slab construction.
Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Floor
What it is: A high-performance concrete mix containing steel fibres that eliminate the need for traditional steel mesh reinforcement.
Why use it:
-
It’s easier to place, faster to build with, and proven to reduce on-site labour and material costs—often cutting slab costs by up to 20%. Pre-reinforced at the batching plant, it saves time and disruption on site.
Savings Calculation
This service is a comparative cost estimate showing potential savings from using steel fibre instead of tradtional reinforcing mesh.
Why use it:
-
Helps you and your client see the value of switching to steel fibre by calculating material, labour, and time savings.
Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete Floor Design
This is a tailored design service for creating steel fibre floor slabs that meet structural and performance requirements.
Why use it:
-
Ensures your steel fibre solution is optimised for the specific loadings, usage, and ground conditions of your project.
Design Advice (Value Engineering)
Here you get a technical review aimed at identifying oppurtunities to reduce costs or simplify construction without compromising performance.
Examples of advice:
-
Reducing unnecessary reinforcement.
-
Suggesting more efficient construction sequencing.
-
Recommending alternative concrete types or admixtures (e.g., low carbon options).
-
Optimisation for buildability and cost-efficiency.
PS1/2/4 Whole Floor Design
This provides a preparation of PS1 (design), PS2 (design review), and PS4 (construction review) producer statements covering the full slab system.
Why use it:
-
Ensures compliance with NZ Building Code and streamlines your consenting process with full engineering sign-off.
