Sustainable renovation of cycle paths
Concrete reinforcement with TwistR fibres for stronger and slimmer concrete structures.
The project in detail.
For this project, a concrete pavement was deliberately chosen — a solution that is increasingly being used for cycle paths thanks to its long service life, low maintenance requirements and excellent performance characteristics. Through the combination of a well-prepared, load-bearing subbase and TwistR GREEN HYBRID fibres, the concrete structure could be optimised efficiently.
