An Australian first on Canberra Light Rail Stage 2A! 🎉
We're proud to be part of the first project in Australia to use 100% recycled macro-synthetic fibres in a concrete track slab. ♻️
Developed in partnership with Danbar Fibre Division, the fibres are manufactured in Ballarat using recycled polypropylene and help reduce the need for traditional steel reinforcement.
The result? More sustainable infrastructure that delivers long-term performance while reducing embodied carbon and increasing recycled content.
So far, more than 1,000m³ of this innovative concrete mix has been laid across the project.
It's a great example of how collaboration, innovation and local manufacturing can help build a more sustainable future for Australian infrastructure.
