Durus – Replacing steel mesh/rebar from construction

Corrosion of steel mesh in our structures Purchasing, storing cutting, handling, wastage of steel

Health & Safety issues Additional costs of labour, fabrication, placing steel

Durus - Eliminating steel mesh from construcion

• extruded PP (profiled/embossed) fibres• CE certification compulsory• Structural fibres• Certification level 1 according to NBN EN 14889

Steel mesh Vs Smart Fibres Durus

Factors affecting costs Steel Mesh Durus S500• corrosion high & expensive Nil

• Transportation Difficult & dangerous Easy, in boxes

• Handling, cutting, wastage Laborious & Expensive Nil

• Placing Difficult Easy

• Reinforcement per unit vol. of concrete High 1/27th the dosage of steel mesh

• Rebar Fabrication area High Nil

• Welding equipment/ tie wires, jigs, fixtures High Nil

• Maintainance costs(short & long term) High Nil

• Installation of Electro-magnetic/signaling devices Problematic Easy

• Timeline – project cost (labour costs, equipments, storage area, IDC etc.)

Long timeline Timeline Reduced to half for applications using durus S500

• Costs High 20 % reduced cost of construction

• Health & safety risk Very high Nil

• User/labour friendliness no Yes

• Carbon footprint High 60% lesser than steel mesh

Cracks or invitation to disasters?

High risk to manmade/natural disasters

Danger to adjoining structures Collateral losses

Prevent cracks to save structure life

• Reduced plastic shrinkage cracking• Reduced plastic settlement cracking• Improved freeze/thaw resistance• Increased abrasion properties• Increased impact resistance• Reduced water & chemical permeability• Reduced bleeding• Reduced explosive spalling in fire

How do we work?

•Professionally Indemnified bespoke solution

•Conversion of existing design into an equivalent design with lesser cost

•Detailed project study and technical expertise

•Reduction in cost of construction
