AtlantisFiber™ | Technical Admixture Data

Engineered Infrastructure Admixture Technology
Our Technology
Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) exhibits better performance not only under static and quasi-statically applied loads but also under fatigue and impact resistance.
Engineered Fiber
AtlantisFiber™, in a strategic partnership with SIERA Group, has engineered an extracted blend of cleaned and refined fibers sourced from repurposed tire fiber strands. From these strands, AtlantisFiber offers two sustainable Repurposed Tire Fiber (RTF) blends that offer many benefits when used in new-build and repair scenarios.
Raw Fiber
An extensive amount of R & D was done using raw fiber in its original form.
Processed Fiber
The advantage of the processed fiber is that it allows for better performance due to higher dosage rates and improved mixing characteristics.
AtlantisFiber's EnviroGuard–100 Polymeric Fiber Concrete Admixture was used in the following projects, demonstrating the efficacy of RTF (Repurposed Tire Fiber) in both slab and thin-set mortar repair covering several years of exposure/data.
Chawathil Field Demonstration
Pavement Project
Technical Set-Up & Results
This project was measured by sensors that were embedded in the concrete. Pump-trucks and mixing characterizations were also analyzed.
Our Sensors
Embedded strain/temp & humidity sensor.
Control Box
Solar powered control/data acquisition box
Junction Box
Electrical junction for the control/data acquisition box
Strain Evolution
Tension stresses cause cracking (see the appreciable improvement of RTF vs Plain)
Post-Pour Loading
Finished project.
In order to monitor the performance of the pavement, the team embedded 30 solar-powered sensors that transmit data to IC-IMPACTS researchers. These health-monitoring sensors provide 24/7 data that will enable efficient future designs and improvements in the self-healing pavement technology.
Slab Preparation
Slab preparation for concrete boom pump and parking lot pour.

Project Site
Completed within the Chawathil First Nation community in BC, Canada
H. R. MacMillan Building Project
This UBC project was for the courtyard steps analyzing thinset mortar repair. These "thin set mortar projects" capture the best scenario for the likelihood of cracking, allowing the opportunity to effectively measure the varying mix effectivenesses.
UBC Campus
The University of British Columbia is a public research university with campuses near Vancouver and in Kelowna, British Columbia. Established in 1908, it is British Columbia's oldest university. The university ranks among the top three universities in Canada.
Courtyard Steps
Construction Type: Concrete and brick
Thinset Mortar Repair
Our RTF admixture largely mitigates the high concentration of cracking normally associated with high-cementitious mortar repair work.
Data Acquisition Box
Data points collected every 5 minutes.
