Column Reinforcement
Coupler sleeve embedded in concrete ready to take continuation reinforcement. Enables slip form to pass freely and avoid the need for bent up starter bars.
In diaphragm wall construction couplers eliminate starter bars for intermediate oors to allow prefabricated cages to be dropped easily into the trench.
To permit future building extensions coupler sleeves are cast into the original structure and capped ready to take continuation reinforcement in beams and columns.
Openings can be left clear of projecting reinforcement to give access for equipment, tower cranes, etc.
Allows Prefabricated pile cages to be lifted and positioned in the ground without cage separation.
Pile to Pile Cap connection is conveniently completed using couplers.
