AusPits is a leader in the design and manufacture of concrete pits for civil projects in the Australian market. With infrastructure construction on the increase in recent years, it was clear that AusPits developed a method of reinforcing that helped speed up production whilst not affecting safety or performance.

The Problem
The brief to the ReoCo team was to remove time consuming conventional steel as the reinforcement, replacing it with a high performance structural synthetic fibre to give the units a 100 year design life.
Our Solution
The Forta Ferro product was selected to meet the tough conditions set out in the brief. The ReoCo engineering team worked closely with AusPits to develop a mix design incorporating the Forta Ferro fibre allowing for the removal of steel reinforcement.
The Results
The Fiba-Struct range of pits are made with Forta Ferro fibre allowing for the pits to be produced faster and safer as there is no handling and cutting of mesh.
The Forta Ferro fibre has allowed AusPits to produce a lighter pit without compromising performance.
