Stremaform® formwork for construction joints

Stremaform® is primarily used for construction joints in reinforced concrete structures.

Benefits of using Stremaform® in construction joints:

• Minimises the need for falsework and formwork in difficult access locations or confined spaces
• Permits the use of continuous reinforcement between pours
• Reduces the need for highly skilled site staff
• Off-site fabrication allows for on-time deliveries and quicker erection times
• Allows for the installation of reinforcement for both sections of a two part mass pour in one operation
• Improves the quality control of joint preparation and construction
• The expanded metal allows for penetration of cement laitance thus creating a rough surface that forms an ideal base for the second concrete pour without the need to scabble
• No formwork striking
• The bond joint provides a shear strength as high as that of the monolithic concrete
• The incorporation of a metal water stop or a cage with rubber bar waterstop into the Stremaform® minimizes the possibility of misplacement of the waterstop during concrete placement and the possible risk of a watertight joint failure
  
  

Stremaflex® formwork for watertight structures made of reinforced concrete consist of the well-proven Stremaform® formwork with a specially coated metal waterstop. Stremaflex® therefore offers an optimum solution for the sealing of construction joints exposed to hydraulic pressure in high-quality structures. Stremaflex® has received approval for use in any construction and crack control joints.
