Hi all.
My architect has called up for mesh fibre concrete to be used to underpin one of my gable walls (building an extension alongside it).
I've never used this product before, nor can get hold of it locally from the usual building merchants (Jewsons, Travis Perkins, etc).
Has anyone got any experience in using this additive? I would assume that it could bulk out the cement and will have to add gallons of plasticiser to make it workable?
The building inspector has simply said that as long as the structural guy is happy then he is. The structural guy was a waste of time and non committal!!!
I was trying to find out the type of fibre required. (steel, polymers, etc)
Any assistance would be great.
