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.
