Steel Fibre

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.
