Special feature
of the project
By eliminating the concrete cover, slab thicknesses and concreting sections of up to 2,500 m² are possible under optimal conditions. Compared to reinforcement with mesh, fibre-reinforced concrete saves time and money in terms of work, equipment and material.
The basis for rapid expansion –
Modern distribution centers
Aldi is expanding worldwide and is building on KrampeHarex.
In 2016 we supplied the fibres for the steel fibre concrete floor of a new logistics center in Wales, United Kingdom. The rapid construction progress thanks to the time and cost-saving workflow was a key criteria. The fibres are mixed directly into the concrete and the steel fibre concrete produced is processed and installed directly. Elaborate reinforcement work as an additional work step and the introduction of a blinding layer are no longer necessary.
By eliminating the concrete cover, slab thicknesses and concreting sections of up to 2,500 m² are possible under optimal conditions. Compared to reinforcement with mesh, fibre-reinforced concrete saves time and money in terms of work, equipment and material.
