Save Time & Money - Improve Safety

Steel fibers typically require special conveyors or extra man-hours to add to a concrete mix. Steel mats or rebar are very labor intensive to place on chairs and supports and to tie properly. FORTA-FERRO macro synthetic fiber can be placed with a laser-guided screed and can eliminate the need for a concrete pump in these situations. FORTA-FERRO benefits projects by reducing labor hours and placement time, providing significant job savings.

In most situations, FORTA-FERRO can safely and reliably replace all non-structural steel in slab-on-grade concrete. The use of traditional wire mesh or steel rebar in slab-on-ground applications can come with a list of safety issues. Wire mesh can be difficult to lay down and raise a tripping hazard among concrete workers on job sites. Without using these traditional methods, FORTA-FERRO allows for significant safety improvements while also a decreasing labor and total project costs.
