Concrete Reinforcement
Rimba Airforce, MINDEF, NBD
Installation Year: 2022
Material Supplied: Forta-Ferro® Concrete Reinforcement
Project Description:
The Helicopter Apron at MINDEF’s Airforce Rimba base experienced cracking along the concrete strips near the drainage, likely due to heavy helicopter loads and water seepage. To address this, the client implemented reinforcement using Forta-Ferro® synthetic fibers in addition to existing steel reinforcement.
Applied at 2 kg/m³, Forta-Ferro® was mixed into the concrete to enhance durability, reduce plastic shrinkage cracking, and improve resistance to flexural stress and fatigue. Being non-corrosive and easy to use with mixer-ready bags, Forta-Ferro® provided a practical and long-lasting solution for concrete repair in high-load areas.
