Structerre’s innovation & improvements team have been working hard alongside Structerre design engineers, fibre manufacturer BOSFA and concreting company BGC Concrete and are pleased to announce the arrival of the Residential Steel Fibre Slab.
Our new slab design incorporates the BOSFA Dramix® steel fibres that are pre-mixed into the concrete and ready to be poured. This removes the need for mesh to be placed on site and saves costs through reduced labour and purchasing of bar chairs. This steel fibre methodology, whilst new to residential construction, has been used for over 20 years in the industrial industry and has stood the test of time on large concrete slabs.
We have extensively tested the design in the residential market and found that this slab is perfect for most A Class sites.
Did you know the Structerre head office in WA was built on a Steel Fibre Slab? Over 2000 square metres of continuous concrete, with great results!
