The new renting warehouse for WWWHP (World Wide Warehouse Hai Phong) in Dinh Vu, is designed as a Slab on Pile to carry 4t post loads from the racking system and a UDL of up to 3t/m2.
The Dramix 5D Slab on Pile solution was chosen as the most cost effective solution, with a reduction in the slab thickness and removing up to 90% of the traditional reinforcing.
The new factory of TAL (Hong Kong) Garment factory in Ba Thien, Vinh Phuc Vietnam was designed with precast hollow core panels for the upper decks. To ensure a flat surface a reinforced topping layer is placed over the precast decks. The most efficient and easiest way to place this topping layer is to utilise a Dramix Steel fibre reinforced concrete layer.
Completed in December 2015 – A total of 75,000m2 at 30mm thick was bonded to the precast panels allowing for larger distances between saw cuts upt o 10m.
One of the major benefits when using Dramix steel fibre reinforced concrete (DSFRC) is the efficiency in design, efficiency in construction and the cost effective solutions that can be achieved.
The below images are a small sample from various project sin the North West that have utilised Dramix in the concrete.
The new Distribution Facility for Schweppes Asahi in Brisbane includes a fully automated racking system 32 metres high, with post loads of 23 Tonnes each.
The Only suitable solution was to remove all joints and saw-cuts and design it as a fully restrained completely seamless Dramix Combi Slab
The new Kiwi Rail Locomotive wash slab in Christchurch was designed to be watertight without any joints. Dramix 5D structural steel fibre was used to provide additional capacity in the foundations and was also used in the slab to design for a nominal crack width of 0.2mm.
On the back of a number of successful external container pavements and due to the busy nature of the facility and the fact that joints require maintenance. The Combi Slab solution was chosen because it removed all joints including saw cuts and dowelled joints, leaving a surface that requires little or no maintenance at all.
After many Truck Stop pavements throughout Australia being constructed with Dramix steel fibres, which handle the heavy loads and significant number of truck and car movements, Hutchinson Builders knew it was the right option for the new Caltex Truck Stop at Chinderah in Northern NSW. This solution allowed them to remove all traditional reinforcing mesh, reduce the pavement thickness, no requirement for a pump, saving them time and money.
One of the major issues facing an external pavement is the required jointing. Unless regularly maintained, generally yearly and in some cases monthly these external pavements are destined to fail at some point. This can cause reduced productivity due to the failure in the slab joints and during any repairs that need to be carried out, unfortunately repairs tend to be just a band aid never really fixing the underlying issue, the joint has failed.
This is where Dramix Combi Slab can reduce and in many cases remove all the joints including saw cuts and dowelled joints, leaving a surface that will require little or no maintenance at all.

This 48,000m2 floor area facility will be used to store tobacco leafs, process and final packaging.
Initial design was using 40kg/m3 loose low performing type fibre. With the combined effort with our partner Infratex Environmental Services Philippines Inc – Bekaert®’s proposal was to use a high performance fibre floor solution at a lower dose rate. By using Dramix 3D 80/60BG, the dose rate can be reduced offering significant saving to the main contractor.
External apron slabs and hardstands, 12,0002, for 100t axle load Container fork lift and containers.
Internal waste transfer processing slab 2000m2 to handle very aggressive domestic waste with low PH level.
Owner: Veolia waste management
Builder: Lipman Construction
Engineer: Costin Roe
Location: Banksmeadow, Sydney
Application: Dramix® Combi Slab
This was an internal slab for a recycling facility with heavy equipment and forklifts. Dramix 4D Combi Slab was used to remove all the joints and the inherent ongoing maintenance cost associated with saw cuts having to be re-sealed and saw cuts not initiating.
The new Perth BUSPORT required a water tight raft slab. BOSFA were able to support the design engineer’s BG&E to produce calculations for their nominated crack width.
