Elasto
Plastic Concrete (EPC) is an organization of professionals
focused on the development of safe-to-use, durable reinforcements
for concrete.
We have offices in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific and
our dedicated staff have relevant tertiary education coupled
with decades of
experience
in the civil construction and mining industries with a specialist
knowledge of concrete & shotcrete.
In
March 2000 EPC entered into a strategic alliance with Hagihara
Industries in Japan. Established in 1962 Hagihara is well
respected for its market
leading technology for manufacturing tough, durable engineered
plastic yarns.
This combination of expertise in plastics engineering and
concrete technology has realized synthetic materials capable
of competing
with conventional steel reinforcing on a cost & performance
basis.
Safe-to-use, corrosion free concrete reinforcement is a reality
today and considering that structural fiber is only in its
technological infancy, the future for durable concrete structures
is looking
very bright indeed.
