As a design professional, you deserve to know that the reinforcement you have carefully selected and recommended is placed properly, and according to manufacturer’s specifications.
When you recommend WWF for secondary reinforcement, you have to appreciate that unless you emphasize in your specification that it must be properly installed according to recommendations from either the WRI [Wire Reinforcement Institute] or IRC [International Residential Code - who now ALSO states that the secondary reinforcement must be properly chaired up] and ask for it to be inspected as such – it will not happen, according to standard practices – thus leaving your design unreinforced!
The solution is Synthetic Fiber from Fabpro! Synthetic Fiber, when properly selected provides you with the right reinforcement, and ensures you that it is properly placed every time – on every job. The reinforcement is built right into the mix, and carries the required strength and attributes you have designed into the slab.
Synthetic Fibers are a better choice than traditional steel for secondary reinforcement! They improve the overall Performance & Integrity of the concrete; they improve the cost of the job; and they are much safer, without any clean up or storage requirements.
