- applications where the fibres are included in the concrete mix for the purpose of enhancing the concrete properties (such as surface toughness or resistance to spalling); and
- Low Risk Applications, where the fibres replace (in whole or in part) steel reinforcing bars or mesh, but only if permitted in the Contract documents.
It does not apply to the construction of road pavements in applications such as highways which are carrying substantial volumes of commercial road vehicles.
