The benefits of a starter box system:
- Simplifies formwork design and speeds up pour schedules
- Ensures concrete joint is correctly formed
- Provides additional bond in formed joint rebate
- Keeps starter bars protected and clean
- Eliminates costly stop-end/projecting bar methods
- Improves access – no projecting bars
- Improves site safety – no injuries from projecting bars
- Eliminates additional work to joint face – no scabbling
- Reduces wastage
Hy-Ten recommend the use of special bending tubes which should be placed over the bar and located at the start of the bend. The straightening operation should be smooth and progressive and carried out at temperatures above -15ºC.
