Light rail extensions disrupt business and traffic. Using steel rods to reinforce concrete beneath the tracks further slows the process while raising sustainability and worker safety concerns. So Valley Metro used an alternative on its current northwest extension.Fiber-reinforced concrete does just what it says on the tin: It replaces a cage of half-inch rebar with

Using fiber-reinforced concrete instead of rebar-supported slabs for constructing light rail extensions givesnew meaning to rapid transit.
Using fiber-reinforced concrete (FAC) to replace rebar in construction projects reduces time, costs and worker safety issues.
