Fibre Reinforcement for Tunneling
Over 5,000 km of Safely Supported
Underground Structures Worldwide
BarChip macro synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement has been used to successfully reinforce over 5,000 km’s of underground structures worldwide. Our high performance reinforcement was the first synthetic fiber used to reinforce sprayed concrete linings in civil tunnels; the first used in cast in situ linings; and the first used as the sole reinforcement in precast segmental tunnel linings.
With over 120 road, rail and utility tunnels you can guarantee that when you choose Barchip, you choose the worlds most experienced team with the worlds best synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement.
Invert Segments – 50% Increase in Production Speeds
Project experience has shown that Barchip’s synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement can increase precast production speeds by 50%.
This increase in production output combined with material cost savings, durability improvements and overall performance increases are driving the switch to Barchip’s high performance concrete reinforcement.

Concrete Track Slab
Concrete track slab allows for increased train speeds, reduced track maintenance and increases the track design life by decades.
Barchip’s high performance concrete reinforcement eliminates difficult steel installation, reducing construction time and cost. Furthermore, issues with corrosion are eliminated and problems from stray currents are greatly reduced.
