Crafted from hot-dipped galvanized steel, our Hy Rib sheets offer superior corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability.
Speeds up the construction process by minimizing setup time.
Cuts down on workforce requirements, saving you money.
Enhances the adhesion of concrete to the surface for stronger results.
Reduces time spent removing formwork, increasing efficiency.
Hy Rib sheets offer a smart alternative to traditional shuttering, combining strength, flexibility, and faster installation in concrete works.
Hy Rib sheets are engineered for superior performance in construction, offering key benefits that make them an essential component for modern building projects.
Incorporating Hy Rib sheets into your construction process ensures faster installation, reduced labor costs, and superior concrete bonding, making it an invaluable asset on any modern construction site.
Tight Sheet-to-Sheet Connection: The innovative design of the Edge Rib ensures a secure connection between adjacent Hy Rib sheets, maximizing the rigidity of the sheet joint. This tight connection enhances structural integrity, especially in temporary works.
Open Mesh for Enhanced Concrete Bonding: The open mesh design of Hy Rib sheets allows bleed water to escape, creating a dense, impenetrable concrete surface. This promotes a stronger bond between the concrete and the Hy Rib, resulting in a durable structure.
Effective Concrete Pressure Reduction: Hy Rib sheets are more effective at reducing concrete pressure on the formwork compared to impervious materials like plywood. This reduces the risk of formwork damage and ensures smoother construction processes.
Proven Strength: Research shows that joints using Hy Rib are 25% stronger than those made with scrabbled methods, offering superior structural strength and reliability.
HO Ribs for Secure Anchoring: The HO Ribs are designed to embed into the first-phase concrete pour, anchoring the sheet securely in place. This prevents any risk of de-bonding, ensuring long-lasting stability.
Intermediate Ribs for Enhanced Stiffness: The intermediate ribs in Hy Rib sheets provide inherent stiffness along the sheet’s length, allowing it to span between supports. This structural feature also serves as a key for concrete bonding, enhancing the overall strength of the construction.
Hy-Rib® is a high-performance permanent formwork system designed to enhance construction efficiency, structural integrity, and cost-effectiveness. Its unique design and material properties offer several key advantages for modern construction projects:
By incorporating Hy-Rib® into your construction projects, you can achieve faster installation, reduced labor costs, and improved structural performance, all while maintaining high-quality standards.
Hy-Rib® can be installed either before or after placing reinforcement bars. Its mesh design allows steel bars to pass through easily, and larger bars can be accommodated by adjusting the mesh openings. This flexibility streamlines the construction process and reduces installation time.
The open mesh structure of Hy-Rib® effectively reduces pore water pressure during concrete pouring, minimizing the lateral pressure exerted on the formwork. This leads to safer construction practices and more economical formwork designs.
Hy-Rib® creates an ideal bonding surface for subsequent concrete pours. The mesh allows bleed water to escape, resulting in a dense and impenetrable concrete zone. This eliminates the need for scabbling and minimizes joint preparation, allowing reinforcement placement to continue without interruption.
The transparency of the Hy-Rib® mesh enables visual monitoring of the concrete pour, reducing the risk of voids and honeycombing. This feature ensures better quality control and improved structural integrity.
In the event of interrupted concrete pours due to weather or supply issues, Hy-Rib® serves as an effective standby material. It allows for quick formation of contingency stop ends without removing temporary formwork, enabling fast resumption of construction.
Once installed, Hy-Rib® remains in place as part of the permanent structure. This eliminates the need for formwork removal and is especially useful in areas with congested reinforcement, ensuring long-term performance and efficiency.
