Use fibre concrete distance tubes smartly

Fibre concrete distance tubes are more than just a dimension. They define the wall structure and have a significant impact on watertightness, durability, and construction reliability.

Fibre concrete distance tubes refer to the distance between two formworks and are therefore a key dimension in the production of concrete walls. Together with the plastic cones used, they determine the overall spacing between the tie points. This dimension is crucial when selecting the appropriate solution, particularly with regard to the subsequent sealing method.

Key practical considerations include:

• Correct interaction between fibre concrete distance tubes and plastic cones
• Appropriate overall spacing between tie points
• Early definition of the sealing method
• Consideration of temperature and structural requirements

Before installation, the sealing variant to be used should already be defined, as it directly affects workmanship and the structural integrity of the component.

Three proven options are available:

• Impact installation, especially suitable at temperatures below 5 °C
• Bonding with fibre-reinforced concrete cones for precise and clean execution
• Grouting with expanding grout for a tight and secure seal
