In the realm of modern construction, the evolution of construction materials has ushered in innovative solutions, and Re-Poly RF47 Macro Synthetic Fibre Reinforced Concrete stands out as a ground breaking choice for footpath construction. This material blends traditional concrete strength with 100% recycled macro synthetic fibres, offering durability, crack control, safety, sustainability, and cost efficiency.
Durability and Longevity:
RF47 fibres boost concrete flexural tensile strength, resisting cracking from shrinkage, traffic loads, and weather. No steel means no corrosion (no concrete cancer). This greater durability reduces maintenance and extends footpath lifespans.
Crack Control and Structural Integrity:
RF47 fibres provide superior crack control, maintaining footpath integrity, and reducing tripping hazards.
Sustainability, Environmental & Social Responsibility are Core for Re-Poly:
By removing the need for steel, we significantly reduce the carbon footprint of footpaths. Additionally, RF47 is packaged by NDIS workers, bringing about tangible social benefits.
Ease of Installation and Cost Efficiency:
RF47 MSFRC is designed for easy installation, thereby lowering labour costs and project timelines. This efficiency also extends to long-term cost savings through reduced maintenance expenses, which helps optimize municipal budgets.
