Made-to-measure and tailored fabric reinforcement


BRC made-to-measure fabric reinforcement
BRC can manufacture standard A, B & C types in sizes to suit your application
(subject to machine capability, transport and handling on site). With or without
Flying Ends, a more cost effective solution can be achieved by reducing cutting,
wastage and lapping congestion.
BRC tailored fabric reinforcement
Designed to suit specific projects, BRC can provide mesh that offers an alternative
to conventional loose rebar. Supplied with or without Flying Ends, reinforcement in
various diameters can be offered in sheet sizes to suit your contract (subject to
machine capability, transport and handling on site).

accommodated but it may be necessary to
manufacture them in sections for ease of
transportation or to enable the shape to be
completed.

Ancon Eazistrip - Reinforcement Continuity System


Ancon Eazistrip
The Ancon Eazistrip Reinforcement Continuity System is a quick and easy to install method of maintaining continuity of
reinforcement at construction joints in concrete. It consists of a galvanised steel casing with a dimpled surface to
provide an effective concrete bond. Pre-bent bars are housed within the casing and are enclosed by a protective
cover. Each end of the unit is sealed with a polystyrene block in order to prevent the ingress of concrete.
The unit is nailed to the formwork and the concrete is cast. After striking the formwork, the cover is
removed and the bars straightened, ready for lapping onto the main reinforcement.

When only the best will do.


Over a period of 20 years, Kwikastrip has become established as the UKs brand leading
reinforcement continuity system. Aside of the well established advantages of using continuity strip,
there are essentially 3 qualities which have earned Kwikastrip its unique market position:
Manufacturing versatility and emphasis on specials
Approximately 85% of Kwikastrip is purpose-made. The aim is always to replicate the reinforcement
detailers design in a more buildable format for the contractor No other system can rival Kwikastrip
.
s
total exibility in this regard.
Service and support from a dedicated technical team
Halfens long experienced reinforcement team eat and breathe Kwikastrip every day of the week,
and are very able to advise regarding the scope for any given application. You might be surprised
just how inventive some of the solutions can be for seemingly impossible applications.
Product Approval
Kwikastrip was the very rst product ever to be awarded CARES Technical Approval
status. The approval followed full-scale structural testing of the product in concrete, which
concluded that the performance of joints formed using Kwikastrip were no less than that
of traditional construction (i.e. with loose/unbent reinforcement). This full product approval
provides critical reassurance that CARES has evaluated Kwikastrip as being t for purpose.
Please ask for a copy of the CARES Technical Approval report.

PermaSteel
PermaSteel is a low cost leavein-place, light duty application
screed rail that takes the concept
of leave-in-place formwork onto
the next stage. Using Permabans
experience in constructing floors
and formwork design, other all
steel formwork systems were
examined in depth and in every
case design or installation faults
were evident in some way.
Permaban addressed these
shortcomings with the
development of PermaSteel.

Rapidobat

Rapidobat

Round columns made easy!


Rapidobat is a purpose made spirally wound rigid paper tube of extremely high
quality. The tube is internally lined with a smooth faced plastic release sheet
which provides the ultimate in concrete surface finish and appearance. Rapidobat
is the fast and economical solution to the problems of forming round columns
which is complicated with timber formwork and expensive with GRP or steel
formwork. Rapidobat incorporates a unique and patented tear off strip which
means that stripping is achieved in a matter of seconds - without any risk of
damage to the concrete face. Importantly, after column inspection, the stripped
Rapidobat tube then provides physical protection from potential site damage to
the attractive newly cast column.

Weldmesh and gabions

Weldmesh Concertainer Gabions and Mattresses


The use of gabions as an effective solution to combat erosion and to
stabilise and strengthen embankments has been in evidence for
several centuries.
Rivers, coasts roads and railways can all be subject to continuous or
fluctuating erosion, demanding planned defences that counteract the
forces involved.
Concertainer gabions are used in many modern civil engineering
schemes to provide economic and effective solutions.
In recent years Betafence Ltd have concentrated on quality of
materials, manufacture and installation techniques resulting in
extensive use for civil engineering and architectural applications
where quality and aesthetics are paramount.
All Concertainer gabions and mattresses are BBA certified for Roads
& Bridges and General Building Regulations.

received in cash or cleared funds payment in full of the Price

supplied by the Seller to the Buyer for which payment is then
due.
7.3
Until such time as the property in the Goods passes to
the Buyer, the Buyer shall hold the Goods as the Sellers

from those of the Buyer and third parties and properly stored
and protected and insured and identified as the Sellers
property, but shall be entitled to resell or use the Goods in the
ordinary course of its business.
7.4
Until such time as the Property in the Goods passes to
the Buyer (and provided the Goods are still in existence and
have not been resold), the Seller shall be entitled at any time to

the Buyer fails to do so forthwith, to enter upon any premises of
the Buyer or any third party where the Goods are stored and
repossess the Goods.
7.5

defect in the Goods arising from any Specification supplied by
the Buyer;
8.2.2 the Seller shall be under no liability in respect of any

the Goods without the Sellers approval;

5.4.1 cancel the Contract or suspend any further deliveries to

8.3
Subject as expressly provided in these Conditions all
warranties, conditions or other terms implied by statute or
common law are excluded to the fullest extent permitted by
law.

6. Delivery
6.1
Delivery of the Goods shall be made by the Buyer
collecting the Goods at the Sellers premises at any time after
the Seller has notified the Buyer that the Goods are ready for
collection on payment of the collection charge then specified in
the Sellers price list or, if some other place for delivery is
agreed by the Seller, the Seller delivery the Goods to that place.
6.2
In the event that the Seller is to deliver the Goods other
than by making the same available for collection at its
producing works, the method of carriage shall, unless
otherwise agreed in Writing, be at the discretion of the Seller.
Any transport or freight arranged or undertaken by the Seller
shall be arranged or undertaken as agent for the Buyer and the
Seller shall have no liability for any loss or damage to the
Goods after the same have left the Sellers premises. The
Seller may supply the Goods from any of its producing works.
6.3
The Seller shall only be obliged to deliver the Goods to a
safe and suitable site at the place of delivery such as an area of
hard standing. The Seller shall decide in its absolute
discretion upon the safeness and suitability of any such site.
6.4
The Seller reserves the right to charge to the Buyer any
costs, charges or expenses incurred by the Seller as a result of

act or omission of the Buyer, its employees or agents, or as a
result of special requirements or stipulations of the Buyer not
provided for in the Contract.
6.5
Any dates quoted for delivery of the Goods are
approximate only and the Seller shall not be liable for any delay
in delivery of the Goods howsoever caused. Time for delivery
shall not be of the essence of the Contract. The Goods may be
delivered by the Seller in advance of the quoted delivery date
upon giving reasonable notice to the Buyer.
6.6
Where the Goods are to be delivered in instalment, each
delivery shall constitute a separate contract and failure by the
Seller to deliver any one or more of the instalments in
accordance with these Conditions or any claim by the Buyer in
respect of any one or more instalments shall not entitle the
Buyer to treat the Contract as a whole as repudiated.
6.7
If the seller fails to deliver the Goods (or any instalment)
for any reason other than any cause beyond the Sellers
reasonable control or the Buyers fault, and the Seller is
accordingly liable to the Buyer, the Sellers liability shall be
limited to the excess (if any) of the cost to the Buyer (in the
cheapest available market) of similar goods to replace those
not delivered over the Price.
6.8
If the Buyer fails to take delivery of the Goods within 7
days of notification that the Goods are ready for collection or
fails to give the Seller adequate delivery instructions at the time
stated for delivery (otherwise than by reason of any cause
beyond the Buyers reasonable control or by reason of the
Sellers fault) then, without prejudice to any other right or
remedy available to the Seller, the Seller may:
6.8.1 deliver the Goods to the Buyers address on the Buyers
order; or

8.4
Any claim by the Buyer which is based on any failure of
the Goods to correspond with the Specification shall (whether
or not delivery is refused by the Buyer) be notified to the Seller
within 7 days from the date of delivery or (where the defect or
failure was not apparent on reasonable inspection) within a
reasonable time after discovery of the defect or failure and in
any event within 30 days of delivery. If delivery is not refused,
and the Buyer does not notify the Seller accordingly, the Buyer
shall not be entitled to reject the Goods and the Seller shall
have no liability for such defect or failure, and the Buyer shall
be bound to pay the Price as if the Goods had been delivered in
accordance with the Contract.
8.5
Where any valid claim in respect of any of the Goods
which is based on any defect in quality or condition thereof or
their failure to meet the Specification is notified to the Seller in
accordance with these conditions the Buyer shall give the Seller
a reasonable opportunity to inspect the Goods prior to use or
processing. The Seller shall be entitled to replace the Goods
(or the part in question) free of charge or, at the Sellers sole
discretion, refund to the Buyer the Price (or a proportionate
part of the price), but the Seller shall have no further liability to
the Buyer.
8.6
Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by
the Sellers negligence, the Seller shall not be liable to the
Buyer by reason of any implied warranty, condition or other
term, or any duty at common law, or under the express terms
of the contract, for any indirect, special or consequential loss or
damage (whether for loss of profit or otherwise), cost, expenses
or other claims for compensation whatsoever (whether caused
by the negligence of the Seller, its employees or agents or
otherwise) which arise out or in connection with the supply of
the Goods or their use or resale by the Buyer, and the entire
liability of the Seller under or in connection with the contract
shall not exceed the Price, except as expressly provided in
these Conditions.
8.7
The Buyer acknowledges and accepts that it does not
rely on, and shall have no remedy in respect of, any statement,
representation, warranty or understanding (whether negligently
or innocently made) of any person (whether party to the
Contract or not) other than as expressly set out in these
Conditions as a warranty. Nothing in this clause shall,
however, operate to limit or exclude any liability for fraud.
8.8
The Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer or be deemed
to be in breach of the Contract by reason of any delay in
performing, or any failure to perform, any of the Sellers
obligations in relation to the Goods, if the delay or failure was
due to any cause beyond the Sellers reasonable control.
Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the
following shall be regarded as causes beyond the Sellers
reasonable control:
8.8.1

8.8.3 acts, restrictions, regulations, bye-laws, prohibitions or


measures of any kind on the part of any governmental,
parliamentary or local authority;
8.8.4

6.8.2 store the Goods until actual delivery and charge the
Buyer for the reasonable costs (including insurance) of storage:
or
6.8.3 sell the Goods at the best price readily obtainable and
(after deducting all reasonable storage and selling expenses)
charge the Buyer for any shortfall below the price under the
Contract.

continuing at the end of that time to such an extent that
substantial performance of the contract is prevented then

notice terminating the contract with immediate effect. In the
event that the contract is so terminated, the Seller shall be
entitled to be paid in full for all work completed to the date of
termination and a fair proportion for any work partially
completed.
8.10 The Seller shall endeavour to ensure that its business
systems are year 2000 compliant but does not make any
representations nor give any warranties in respect of such
compliance. The Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer or be
deemed to be in breach of the Contract by reason of any delay
in performing or any failure to perform any of the Sellers
obligations in relation to the delivery of the Goods, if the delay
or failure arises from or is connected to the changes arising
before, during or after the year 2000
