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.
