Case study #1
Company: Sydney 2000 Olympics
Project Site: Whitewater kayak course
Contractor: Jetcrete Australia


Scope:


During preliminary testing of the whitewater course it was discovered that turbulent water was disturbing river stones in the retention basin and causing the water to become dirty with mud.
Also, a kayak launching ramp was required to access the retention basin and there were safety concerns with bare footed athletes and the potential for injury from steel fibre reinforcement.

Solution:

Barchip reinforced shotcrete application to retention basin floor and kayak launching ramp.

Did you know...?
Marine durability research on cracks in concrete has concluded steel fibre loses half of it's load carrying capacity after 12 months exposure in a tidal zone.

Dosing Barchip

Simple to batch

Safer & lighter to handle than steel fibre.

Reduce back injury

Did you know one 5kg bag of Barchip gives equivalent energy absorption performance to 25kg of steel fibre.



No more needles

Steel fibers are often referred to as needles due to the high frequency of puncture injuries to skin when handling

Benefits
Flexural toughness
equal to steel
Non rusting durability
Safer and lighter to handle
Improved Fire rating
