Enviromesh – Leading the Way in Sustainable Reinforcement
Fibrecon has long been recognized as an expert in steel fibre reinforcement, providing a superior alternative to traditional steel mesh for heavy-duty applications. Today, the industry is moving toward more sustainable solutions – and so are we. Our synthetic fibre brand, Enviromesh, is already a trusted leader, delivering unmatched benefits in sustainability, cost-efficiency, time savings, and safety.
Enviromesh has provided bespoke sustainable low-carbon concrete reinforcement solutions. In addition to Australia and New Zealand, we also supply for projects in the Australia and NZ, Americas, Asia, Europe, and The Pacific Island Nations.
With more than 30 years in the concrete reinforcement business, we are committed to sustainability and innovation and aligning our operations with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) to create a positive impact on society and the environment.

Steel fibre reinforced concrete comprises hydraulic cements containing aggregate (fine, or fine and course) and steel fibres. A plasticiser or superplasticiser is often used to enhance mix workability. Steel fibre products (SFR or steel fibre reinforcement) are available in a variety of types and sizes from various manufacturers. However, the underlying principle of all SFRC designs is to provide discrete, discontinuous reinforcement and effective crack control.
Unlike wire mesh or rebar, steel fibres reinforce in three dimensions throughout the entire concrete matrix. The fibre functions to reinforce and restrain micro-cracking essentially acting as “miniature reinforcing bars”. The earlier a crack is intercepted and its growth inhibited, the lower the chance of it developing into a major flaw.
The sensible answer is “no”. Nothing takes the place of a properly engineered application to code. In structural applications, sufficient continuous steel reinforcement is required to take the full applied tensile load. Among the exceptions to this rule, however, are certain pre-cast applications. Steel fibre reinforcement may be used in conjunction with structural steel.
Steel fibre reinforced concrete acts as a uniform composite material. Compared to plain or conventionally reinforced concrete, the most immediate differences are improved ductility and post-crack performance. The specific effects on matrix mechanical properties greatly depend on the type and quantity of fibre used. Generally speaking, smaller fibres with a high fibre count offer superior first-crack strength and better fatigue endurance. Should a crack open widely, longer fibres with mechanical anchorage mechanisms offer better post-crack performance.
