MacGrid™ is a geogrid for soil reinforcement, made from high molecular weight, high tenacity polyester multifilament yarns. The yarns are woven on tension in machine direction and finished with a polymeric coating. MacGrid™ geogrids are engineered to be mechanically and chemically durable, and resistant to biological degradation.
In some applications, such as floor slabs, traditional steel reinforcement can be replaced entirely by steel fibres. Synthetic fibres are now being used within concrete, in order to offer other non-structural performance benefits. With over 30 years experience in the design and supply of fibre reinforcement, Maccaferri offers a wide range of Wirand fibres, both steel and polymer, designed to “Make your Concrete Unique!”

Steel fibres have been used to reinforce concrete for over 100 years since the first patent was applied for in 1874. Introducing fibres into the concrete provides new and improved mechanical properties; the fibres are distributed in three dimensions throughout the concrete providing performance precisely where it is needed.
