Scope of Work

A mid-rise building’s slab-on-grade parking garage was originally designed as unreinforced. Baker Concrete collaborated with Fortis Structural to prevent structural damage from the loads from temporary columns and scaffolding supporting the cast-in-place structural level above. Baker Concrete recommended synthetic macro fibers, ultimately contacting FullForce, whose engineering team designed a solution incorporating a 5 lb/yd³ dosage of FiberForce 750. Supporting calculations demonstrated the fiber’s effectiveness in controlling plastic shrinkage cracking and accommodating the temporary point loads, leading the engineer to approve and recommend the fiber dosage. Following the decision to proceed with the 5 lb/yd³ dosage, the team collaborated to address batching, mixing, pumping, placing, and finishing considerations. For the first two placements, Baker Concrete utilized a macro fiber–ready boom pump. The resulting broom finish was clean, with minimal visible fiber
