Product Summary
Recycled plastic Redibase Footing Forms are the cost effective solution to a long lasting, trouble free, exterior structure. Redibase equipped in-ground columns will not sink, tilt or frost heave and provide a strong, stable building platform for a multitude of uses including decks, porches, verandahs, gazebos, add-ons, outbuildings etc.
Construction and Materials
The Redibase form system is a versatile and robust solution for concrete construction, designed for efficiency and durability. Its core components are engineered for ease of use, rapid assembly, and reliable performance in a variety of applications, from residential foundations to large commercial structures.
The primary construction of the Redibase system relies on high-strength aluminum components. This material is chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio, resistance to corrosion, and its ability to withstand the pressures of poured concrete. The aluminum panels are designed with interlocking edges that ensure a secure and tight fit, preventing concrete leakage and maintaining the structural integrity of the formwork.
Key Components and Materials
- Form Panels: These are the main structural elements of the Redibase system. Constructed from extruded aluminum alloy, they are lightweight yet incredibly strong. The panels come in various standard sizes to accommodate different project dimensions and can be combined to form complex shapes. Their smooth surface finish also aids in easy concrete release and a cleaner finished wall.
- Brackets and Accessories: A comprehensive range of aluminum brackets and connecting hardware are used to assemble the form panels. These are also made from high-strength aluminum alloys. They are designed for quick attachment and release, often utilizing simple pin and wedge systems. This allows for rapid setup and dismantling of the formwork.
- Bracing and Support: To ensure the stability of the formwork during concrete pouring, Redibase utilizes specialized bracing systems. These are typically made from steel for maximum rigidity and strength, capable of withstanding significant lateral forces. The bracing components are designed to be adjustable, allowing for precise alignment and leveling of the forms.
- Tie Rods: Steel tie rods are essential for holding opposing form panels together and resisting the outward pressure of the wet concrete. These are durable and capable of handling high tensile loads. They are often used in conjunction with a form liner or plywood to provide a smooth concrete surface.
- Form Liners (Optional): While the aluminum panels provide a finished surface, optional form liners can be used to create specific textures or improve the smoothness of the concrete. These can be made from various materials, including plywood, plastic, or specialized textured sheets, depending on the desired outcome.
The overall construction philosophy of the Redibase system emphasizes modularity and reusability. The interlocking nature of the aluminum panels and the standardized design of the accessories allow for quick assembly and disassembly on-site. This not only speeds up the construction process but also contributes to cost-effectiveness through repeated use of the formwork components.
