ADVANTAGES
Saves time & money. BARBOOTTM is easily installed.
Indefinite shelflife and easily stored.
Lightweight, yet strong & durable and engineered with the contractor
in mind.
Made of high density plastic resistant to corrosion and chemicals common
to construction.
Provides an excellent system of support for placement of fabricated rebar
cages into drilled or excavated shafts.
Economical to use.
Fabricated rebar cages are properly positioned for concrete placement.
Universally adaptable to variable size bar diameters (one size fits all).
Encapsulation of bar ends provides added corrosion protection.
Self-locking.
CONSTRUCTION BENEFITS
Insures that the bar reinforcement is properly spaced and supported within
the confines of the drilled shaft or excavation
Provides quality assurance for the contractor of the subcontractors performance
and at the same time providing quality assurance for the engineer and owner
of the contractors performance.
Increased job profitability because installation is easy and quick requiring
only unskilled labor. Skilled labor is released for other more demanding
tasks.
Rapid attachment combined with low labor requirements result in project
cost savings. Since positioning is critical, spacing and support devices are
essential. Bar reinforcement must be supported with devices spaced as to
maintain the steel at the correct position during the construction process
and during concrete placement.
SAMPLE SPECIFICATION
The bar reinforcement shall be properly spaced and supported inside the
drilled shaft.
The reinforcing steel shall be supported and held securely in position
prior to and during concrete placement operations.
Spacers shall be non-corrosive support and positioning devices or an approved
equal.
SUGGESTED BARBOOTTM PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS
Equally space boots around bottom of cage. Use one BARBOOTTM per 1500 lbs.
of steel cage weight. (Minimum of every other vertical bar.)
BARBOOTTM is currently available in Model BB711 for commercial projects
and Model BB711 FED for federal projects. Both provide three (3) inches (or
75mm) of clearance support. BARBOOTTM is universally adaptable to: #6 through
#11 standard reinforcing bars and #19m through #36 metric reinforcing bars.
