How it is applied
FROM DOSAGE DESIGN TO JOINT CUTTING
The same documented process runs on a 200 m² workshop floor and a 65,000 m² plant. Every step is below, from the first project call to the handover of the records.

Four phases
HOW DOES THE PROCESS RUN?
- 01
Project review
Loads, slab thickness, exposure class and pour programme are reviewed with your engineer, free of charge. Ground investigation and sub-base conditions are assessed at this stage too.
- 02
Dosage design
Fibre type and kg/m³ are fixed in writing, with the supporting standard and test data. Joint spacing and the curing programme are part of the same document.
- 03
Batching & pour
The fibre is mixed in the truck mixer until dispersion is homogeneous. Pouring by pump or mixer follows, then vibrating screed levelling and power trowelling.
- 04
Cure & joints
Surface hardener application, controlled curing, and joint cutting one to three days after the pour. Measurement records are handed over as a project dossier.
Step by step on site
WHAT HAPPENS ON POUR DAY?
- 01
Concrete pour
Fibre-reinforced concrete at the fixed dosage is placed by pump or truck mixer.
- 02
Screed levelling
The surface is brought to level and compacted with a vibrating screed.
- 03
Power trowelling
As the concrete begins to set, ride-on power trowels close the surface.
- 04
Surface hardener
A dry shake hardener that increases abrasion resistance is spread and worked into the trowelled surface.
- 05
Curing after trowelling
Curing compound or sheeting brings surface moisture loss under control.
- 06
Joint cutting
Control joints are cut at the planned spacing, one to three days after the pour.
Quality control
THE RECORDS WE HAND OVER
- Dosage records — fibre type used and kg/m³
- Batch certificates and declaration of constancy of performance
- Surface hardness readings
- Flatness (surface regularity) readings
- Joint layout and cutting dates
- Curing programme records
