The fiber is only for reinforcement, like wire mesh. Make sure they add a vapor barrier and make dern sure they cut your expansion joints THE SAME DAY. They should be 1/4 of the thickness deep and spaced appropriately (based on thickness as well). I can't tell you how many times I've had to inspect failed concrete due to a lack of expansion joints.

I had 6 inches of 5/8 minus and 6 inches of sand and the water comes up like a fountion. Put it down at all cost. Pit run doesn't stop a thing.
