DRAMIX® by Bekaert implemented by Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) in Gotthard (Switzerland) in 2016
The use of Dramix steel fibre in shotcrete has enabled CO2 emissions to be reduced by 50 to 75% compared with the use of traditional reinforcement methods. This is due to the material and labour savings achieved by using steel fibre, the reduction in the quantity of concrete to be transported thanks to automation, and the optimisation of the design mix.
DRAMIX® by Bekaert implemented by Société du Grand Paris / Eiffage in Paris (France) in 2020
Dramix high-performance steel fibre saves around 5,000 tonnes of steel and reduces CO2 emissions by 10,000 tonnes for 10 kilometres of tunnels compared to Rebars. This fibre-reinforced concrete requires only 40 kg of Dramix steel fibre per cubic metre.
DRAMIX® by Bekaert implemented by Artelia Group in Trondheim (Norway) in 2023
The reduced requirement for labor onsite led to significant cost savings and faster project completion CO2 Savings: The sustainable construction methods employed by SigmaSlab contribute to substantial CO2 reductions, aligning with the project's eco-friendly objectives

A material-efficient concrete reinforcement solution for flooring, tunneling and precast applications
Dramix® steel fiber reinforced concrete offers a solution that is both effective, cost-efficient and environmentally conscious. By using steel fibers instead of traditional concrete reinforcement methods such as mesh or rebar, you can reduce the CO2 emissions by up to 35% for the construction of, for example, an automated warehouse, a production plant, tunnels, precast elements, etc. This is because steel fibers reinforce concrete homogeneously, requiring less material for the same level of performance. Additionally, advanced design optimization allows for the creation of thinner, yet durable concrete elements that use less concrete, steel, and water compared to traditional reinforcement methods.
