Mining & Tunnelling

Steel fibres are widely used in mining and tunnelling applications as an alternative to rebar/ mesh, to enhance the structural integrity and reduce the risk of crack propagation, which can lead to catastrophic failure.

Fibrex fibres provide users with complete assurance optimum performance as well as a much improved bounceback ratio, when compared to other steel fibres applied using shotcrete or spraying methods. Using Fibretech’s patented i-melt® process, Fibrex fibres have unique characteristics that reduce bounceback by up to 86%, when compared with alternative fibre products. This key aspect of the Fibrex range for mining and tunnelling provides users with a highly attractive cost-saving potential in addition to exceptional performance.
