Heavy-Duty Cage Formers

This system is a scientifically safe means of site assembling pile cages where an alternative to traditional site welding is required. (certified to UK CARES technical approval document TA5/5010:2005)
Cage formers contain rebar locator stubs to ensure highly accurate circumferential settings to main cage bars
Twin-ring construction gives rigid box-like nature to cage formers ensuring robustness of finished pile cage
Integral mechanical clamps, when torqued at 80Nm, provide scientific cage lifting points (typical single clamp test strength = 120kN) giving high factors of safety during suspension of cage
Built-in anti-racking supports permit cage stability during site lifting operation
Rigid, integral cover spacers supplied to any cover dimension reduce workload of piling crew
Five grades of spacer ‘footprint’ available according to cage weight and piling application
All ROMTECH skid spacers comply with the ‘heavy-duty’ structural test requirements of BS 7973:2001
Template-like nature of formers allow rapid, highly accurate cage steelfixing operation
Clamp test strengths available on request
Economic cogency of cage former solution enhanced by supplementary locator rings and ladder spacers
Specified by Railink Engineering on all CTRL projects from early 2001
Cage fabrication drawings produced automatically to assist site steelfixing. Cage lifting calculations and method statements available on request.
