Maccaferri Philippines Showcases Innovative Concrete Solutions at CASTED 2026

Discover how Maccaferri Philippines contributed to advancing structural engineering innovation at ASEP CASTED 2026.

Engaging the Structural Engineering Community

Maccaferri Philippines proudly participated in the ASEP 4th International Conference on Concrete and Steel Technology Engineering and Design (CASTED 2026), held on May 28–30, 2026 at Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria, Quezon City. Organized by the Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines (ASEP), the conference brought together structural engineers, researchers, academics, and industry leaders to exchange knowledge and explore advancements in concrete and steel technologies.

The event served as a key platform for collaboration, innovation, and professional engagement within the structural engineering community.

Supporting Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructure

Aligned with the theme “Engineering the Future Towards Resilience & Sustainability,” CASTED 2026 emphasized the importance of integrating durability, efficiency, and sustainability into modern infrastructure development.

As a Silver Sponsor and Booth Exhibitor, Maccaferri Philippines reinforced its commitment to supporting initiatives that promote resilient design and long-term infrastructure performance. Through its participation, the company contributed to ongoing discussions on how engineered solutions can address evolving challenges in the built environment.

Showcasing Wirand® Steel Fiber Technology

A key highlight of Maccaferri Philippines’ participation was its technical product presentation on Wirand® Steel Fibers, focusing on the role of fiber-reinforced concrete in enhancing structural performance.

The presentation demonstrated how steel fibers can improve crack control, increase toughness, and optimize load distribution in concrete structures. By reducing or partially replacing conventional reinforcement, Wirand® solutions offer a more efficient and cost-effective approach for a wide range of applications, including slabs, tunnels, precast elements, and industrial flooring.

This innovation supports faster construction, improved durability, and enhanced lifecycle performance of structures.

Promoting Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange

CASTED 2026 also featured technical sessions, exhibits, and networking opportunities, enabling participants to engage directly with solution providers and industry peers.

Maccaferri Philippines’ booth served as a hub for discussions on engineered solutions for structural and geotechnical applications, fostering collaboration and encouraging the adoption of innovative materials and design approaches.

Committed to Advancing Engineering Excellence

Through its participation in events such as CASTED 2026, Maccaferri Philippines continues to strengthen its role in the engineering community by supporting platforms that drive knowledge-sharing and innovation.

By combining advanced materials like Wirand® Steel Fibers with decades of engineering expertise, the company remains committed to delivering solutions that contribute to safer, more resilient, and more sustainable infrastructure in the Philippines and beyond.
