Prologis is currently developing a 60,000 m² logistics park with two distribution centers in the well-connected city of Bottrop (NRW).
The Japanese logistics service provider Yusen Logistics will use the property as its new European central warehouse.
For the reinforcement of the approx. 50,000 m² logistics area, Prologis is relying on reinforcement with steel fibres from KrampeHarex.
CO₂ savings:
306 t
KrampeHarex GWP 257 kg CO₂-Eq. compared to steel fibres from other manufacturers with a GWP of 800–2100 kg CO₂-Eq.
This corresponds to approximately 85 transatlantic flights from Frankfurt to New York per passenger.
"An industrial floor of this size is ideal for KrampeHarex steel fibers with hooked ends."

From the floor slab to the roof -
A model sustainability project
Sustainability is the focus during the development of this property. For this reason, the steel fibres from KrampeHarex are doubly convincing. In the performance of the concrete and in the reduction of CO₂ emissions in the concrete, because:
The use of steel fibres instead of conservative steel bar reinforcement significantly reduces the amount of steel required. In addition, thanks to steel fibre reinforcement, the slab thickness of the entire logistics area can be reduced and concrete saved.
The KrampeHarex fibres used also reduce the carbon footprint of this project enormously, as KrampeHarex has had a clear focus on sustainability for decades, from the supply of raw materials to the production of the fibers and onward transport.
Thanks to BEG Standard 40, a PV system, several heat pumps and other sustainable supply solutions, the overall project is expected to save more than 7,000 tons of CO2 per year.
Reinforce optimally -
save material
When steel fibre-reinforced concrete is used for tunnel construction, for example, most of the Portland cement can be substituted and rebar can be dispensed with. In industrial flooring, combined reinforcement reduces the necessary slab thickness and thus the minimum reinforcement required. This has a positive impact on material requirements and the environment.
