Advancing Innovation in Construction: DFK Consulting Engineers Visit Midland Steel’s Smart Factory in Portlaoise

 

This insightful visit provided our team with a first-hand look at how the FasterFix solution is reshaping reinforced concrete construction through significant time, cost, labour, and carbon savings. As a patented off-site manufactured modular reinforcement system, FasterFix offers substantial advantages to modern construction projects, including:

 

  • 75% faster rebar programme times

  • 80% reduction in on-site labour requirements

  • 30% cut in preliminary project costs

  • 12.6% reduction in embodied carbon

  • Zero material waste

  • Improved site safety, eliminating manual handling and loose bar placement

 

 

This aligns with DFK’s commitment to sustainable development, construction efficiency, and innovative engineering solutions. The integration of modular and off-site manufacturing methods such as FasterFix demonstrates the future of Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) and their role in delivering smarter, safer, and more sustainable infrastructure.

 

Our team deeply appreciated the opportunity to engage with Midland Steel’s experts, share technical knowledge, and discuss future collaborative opportunities. Experiences like this not only enhance our professional development and continuous learning (CPD), but also strengthen our strategic relationships across the construction supply chain.

 

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with Midland Steel Reinforcement Supplies and supporting the adoption of modular, low-waste, high-efficiency practices in our upcoming projects.
