Cellate Fibre Steel

Unlike conventional reinforcement–which strengthens in one or possibly two directions–Steel fibres reinforce iso tropically, greatly improving the concrete’s resistance to cracking, fragmentation, spalling and fatigue. When an unreinforced concrete beam is stressed by bending, its deflection increases in proportion with the load to a point at which failure occurs and the beam breaks apart.

Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete provides several advantages in terms of structural performance, construction practicality, speed of construction and cost reduction over conventional reinforced concrete. Structural Advantages 

  • Improves performance of concrete section under direct tension, flexure, shear and torsion Increases toughness (ability to absorb energy after cracking)
  • Increases fatigue endurance and impact resistance 
  • Enhances crack control 
  • Random distribution throughout concrete mix Performance 
  • Improves ductility of concrete under all modes of loading 
  • Improves fire protection performance of concrete section, limits spalling 
  • Improves concrete durabilityEconomic Advantages 
  • Minimizes labour cost , reduces crane hook time 
  • Concrete slab thickness can be reduced 
  • Lowers maintenance cost 
  • Eliminates or reduces cost for reinforcement delivery 
  • Eliminates need for cathodic protection Construction Advantages 
  • Rapid concreting time 
  • Eliminates need for steel placement, fabrication and handling of reinforcement 
  • Jigs Steel fiber is economic and useful construction material that can be used in structural applications alone or with conventional reinforcement
  • Reduced spalling.
  • Stronger joints.
  • High impact resistance.
  • Greater fatigue endurance.
  • Reduced maintenance costs.
  • Longer useful working life
  • Significantly higher impact resistance•
  • Significantly higher tensile, bending and shear strength.

  • Higher load bearing capability

Cellatehas three manufacturing facilities which are located in Sydney, Dubai and Singaporeand produce Enlarged End (EE) Steel Fibres for the world market. Cellate currently producesEE Steel Fibres for its construction projects and clients.Each facility is modern and well equipped to optimise production and operates to ISO 9001 standards.

We produce a variety of fibres for various applications; Steel Fibre Reinforcement: EE 186,EE 184 EE 256 HR.
