formwork tie rods

Formwork tie rods

Formwork Tie Rods are critical load-bearing components in concrete pouring projects, designed to connect and tension opposing formwork panels against the immense lateral pressure of fresh concrete. Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel through precision machining and heat treatment, our tie rods offer exceptional tensile strength and durability. We provide a comprehensive range, including through-tie rods and disposable threaded tie rods, to deliver safe, efficient, and cost-effective solutions for formwork projects of all scales and complexities, ensuring precise concrete dimensions and smooth surface finishes.

Description

  • Product Name: Formwork Tie Rods

  • Key Features:

    • High Tensile Strength: Made from high-strength alloy steel (e.g., 45Mn, 40Cr), our rods withstand extreme concrete pressure, preventing formwork failure and ensuring worksite safety.

    • Comprehensive Specifications: Available in various diameters (M12, M16, M18, M20, M24, etc.) and lengths, with custom options to suit diverse needs, from walls/columns to large foundations and bridge piers.

    • Economic & Efficient (for Disposable Type): The innovative three-part tie rod system allows the outer parts and nuts to be reused while the inner section remains in the concrete. This saves material costs and leaves a small, neat hole in the finished wall.

    • Corrosion Resistance: Surface treatments like galvanization (hot-dip or electro) or Dacromet provide excellent rust resistance, ensuring longevity even in harsh environments.

    • Easy Installation: Standardized threading works seamlessly with cone nuts and washers for quick assembly and disassembly, significantly boosting on-site productivity.

  • Product Types:

    • Through-Tie Rods: Feature continuous threading and are used with PVC sleeves. Suitable for thinner walls and are fully retrievable.

    • Disposable Threaded Tie Rods (3-Part System): Consist of an inner wedge and two outer rods. The outer components are reusable, making this a cost-effective and popular choice for modern formwork.

  • Applications:

    • Formwork for building walls, shear walls, and columns

    • Large-scale infrastructure: bridge piers, tunnel walls, dams

    • Industrial foundations and equipment bases

    • Any cast-in-situ concrete structure requiring resistance to lateral concrete pressure.

  • Technical Parameters:

    • Material: High-Strength Alloy Steel (45Mn/40Cr)

    • Strength Grade: Grade 8.8, 10.9, or higher

    • Diameter: M12, M16, M18, M20, M24, M30, etc.

    • Length: Customizable, ranging from centimeters to several meters

    • Surface Treatment: Hot-Dip Galvanized, Electro-Galvanized, Dacromet
