Elasto Plastic Concrete in Atlantic Ocean tunnelMore than ten major tunnelling projects in Norway are benefiting from the use of Barchip structural synthetic fibre to reinforce their shotcrete linings. Barchip, a product of the Elasto Plastic Concrete group, is designed to replace steel mesh and steel fibres in reinforced shotcrete, which may be subject to corrosion in harsh environments, particularly in subsea drives such as the recently opened Atlantic tunnel.
