How-to's with MAX FRANK

MAX FRANK is supplying special concrete bar spacers to this project. The purpose? On this occasion it’s not to optimise concrete cover, it is to protect Cathodic Protection strips!

MAX FRANK’s overview "Selection of spacers according to requirements" assists you in making a fast but assured selection of our fibre-reinforced concrete mixes for the most diverse stresses.

The use of the MAX FRANK controlled permanent formwork liner when concreting tunnel tubes enables an almost void-free, resistible concrete surface.

Information graphic - MAX FRANK offers a comprehensive range of distance tubes with suitable sealing options for their openings in the concrete wall. We give an overview of the sealing variants of tie holes.

In larger building projects, crane foundations are integrated directly into the floor slab and are the first areas to be concreted. Stremaform^® is useful to get connected and sealed this construction situation.

Sheet piles are used as permanent or temporary support of excavations. Pecafil^® formwork acts as a sacrificial back shutter for the concrete liner wall, the sheet piles are spanned and do not need to be filled with concrete.

Infographic: Traditional timber formwork is still often used for cold joints. By comparison, ready-to-install formwork systems improve the quality and cost effectiveness of the joint.

For the "Stuttgart 21" traffic construction project, chalice-shaped pillars are being built for the roof of the main railway station. In order to ensure compliance with the concrete covering, spacers made of fibre concrete are used on the reinforcement of the columns.
