FERBOX is a reinforcement continuity system,

designed to maintain structural continuity across

construction joints in reinforced concrete structures.

The FERBOX casing houses suitably proven

reinforcement, which is factory pre-bent and factoryfitted.

On the construction site, the FERBOX unit is

secured inside the formwork at the front face of the

structural member (often a wall), in advance of the

concrete pour.

The FERBOX casing is designed to remain

embedded in the concrete, providing a useful rebate

and key for the subsequent concrete pour. The

galvanised and indented profile of the embedded

casing obviates the need for traditional scabbling at

the joint interface.

After striking the formwork, the casing lid is revealed

and removed, providing access to the connection

legs (starter bars) which lay inside. These legs are

bent outwards (at 90 degrees) by the contractor,

then ordinarily lapped with loose reinforcement of

the subsequent structural member/concrete pour.

Following a rigorous testing and evaluation programme, both plant operations (UK and

Germany) are UK-CARES approved to the assessment requirements of EC2.

It should be noted that CARES Technical Approval and CARES Management System approval is held by Invisible Connections Ltd, the UK manufacturer of FERBOX which also owns the FERBOX trademark. Euro Accessories distributes FERBOX under an agreement with Invisible Connections Ltd.
