Welcome to our Construction Newsletter!

Welcome to the first edition of our construction newsletter! If you are interested in sustainable building techniques ranging from industrial floors to tunnels and from precast elements to light interior walls or even roads, then you are at the right place. Here we go!

Eric Peeters is an experienced global executive leader with a global career of more than 30 years in the field of advanced materials. He has a strong commitment to establishing sustainable innovative solutions and ways of working that support progressive carbon level reduction, which he will translate to our construction sector.

Watch the video and discover who the man behind Bekaert Construction’s bold moves is in 10 exciting questions:

We are excited to announce our new Dramix® Pro, an online tool that simplifies, streamlines and optimizes the design and calculation of slab-on-ground (SOG) floors using steel fibers. The result? A steel fiber floor design that is more durable, has a lower total cost, and a lower carbon footprint than a traditionally reinforced floor.

Westconnex tunnel Rozelle Interchange

Discover how Bekaert’s Dramix® 4D steel fibers are pushing the boundaries in the WestConnex tunnel Rozelle Interchange, one of Sydney's most intricate underground junctions. Learn about the innovative sprayed concrete linings and the challenges overcome in this groundbreaking project.

Precast Sandwich panels

See how our galvanized Dramix® steel fibers are changing the game for precast sandwich panels! By eliminating the need for mesh preparation and placement, these fibers cut production costs and boost productivity. Plus, they are eco-friendly, helping to lower the environmental impact. Learn more about our innovative reinforcement solutions and how they're transforming the industry.

Successes around the globe

From Germany, to Australia, to Morocco, to Mexico... Watch how we consistently pushed the boundaries of these industrial floors, using a revolutionary reinforcement solution, combining Dramix® steel fibers and CCL post tensioning system, that ultimately leads to better and more durable and sustainable floors.

Promising punching tests

As we continue to further optimize our solutions, we are excited to share that we are collaborating with CCL and the Polytechnic of Milano, led by Prof. Marco Di Prisco, to enhance our understanding of SigmaSlab®'s punching resistance. The concrete test samples are being produced at Betonrossi, and the initial results are very promising.

We would love to meet you in person! In August, September and October you can find us at the following events!
