    Building for tomorrow

Designing and building concrete floors with a lower carbon footprint

At ArcelorMittal we strive to contribute to a more sustainable world through the production of smarter steels with lower carbon content.

Our progress in the development of advanced steel fibre reinforced concrete solutions allow Developers, Engineers and Contractors to optimise the design of concrete floors, allowing for material savings, compared to traditional reinforced concrete floors, resulting in important reductions in the carbon footprint of construction projects.

We are working closely with Developers, Project Owners, Engineers, and Contractors to support their ambitions to reduce the carbon footprint of their projects.

Our Engineers and Sales Managers will provide expert support to those designing and building concrete floors, providing the right advice and the right solutions to reduce the carbon content of each project.

Using the correct solution for your concrete floor will have a major impact on the carbon footprint of your project.

 

ArcelorMittal Fibres have developed a new generation of steel fibre. XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel fibres are manufactured with recycled steel and 100% renewable electricity.

XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel fibres further reduce the carbon footprint of construction projects, leading the way towards carbon neutrality.

 

CO2 savings: Traditional rebar reinforced slab compared to SFRC slabs

By replacing traditional rebar reinforcement with steel fibres, the carbon footprint of concrete floors can be reduced by more than 20%, compared to traditional rebar reinforced concrete floors.


 

Additional CO2 savings:

Depending on ground conditions and the application of the project under construction, the use of steel fibre reinforced concrete can reduce the required thickness of the concrete slab, compared to traditional rebar reinforced slabs. The reduction in slab thickness further reduces the carbon footprint of your project.
