Since Beamform is 120mm thick, the customer will be able to stack units where depths exceed the maximum height available (750mm). This is achieved quickly, safely, accurately and very easily.

An example of how this works is shown below, where Beamform was used on a Hypermarket development which had 900mm deep pile caps and 600mm deep beams to the perimeter of the new store.

From General Arrangement (GA), Reinforced Concrete (RC) drawings in conjunction with Bar Schedules, we were able to do a complete take-off of Beamform units, prefab cages and required spacers.

The Beamform units are installed in the normal manner as previously described. Where the units are stacked around the pilecaps they tie in to the units on the beams with the tongue/grooved ends.

In this instance, by utilising ROMTECH prefab cages and Beamform, the Contractor not only recovered a two week programme slippage, but completed the pour of the perimeter beam foundation three weeks ahead of programme, without losing any quality on the finished product.

Since completing this contract, the Contractor has continued to use both ROMTECH prefab cages and Beamform on all suitable projects. Indeed, this company builds in the speed of installation advantages over traditional methods when tendering for work; thus giving them a distinct advantage over competitors.
