The length of straight between two bends shall be at least 4d, Note A For shapes with straight and A curved lengths (e.g. shape codes 12, 13, 22, 23 and 47) the largest practical mandrel size for the production of a A continuous curveB is 400mm. Note B The length equations for shape codes 14, 15, 25, 26, 27, 34, 36, and 46 are approximate and where the bend angle is greater than 45, the length C allowing for the difference between the should be calculated more accurately Athe true length measured along the central specified overall dimensions and axis of the bar. When the bending (C) angles approach 90, it is preferable to B 99 with a fully dimensional sketch. specify shape code R Note C Five bends or more might be impractical within permitted tolerances.

ROMTECH recently supplied a large diameter piling contract which used conventionally spliced pile cages. The use of Bulldog grips was prohibited because of the hazards of manually fitting them with operators hands passing inside both the trapped-off and suspended pile cages. Safe-Splice is a patented system which we have developed as a much safer alternative to U-bolts.

Notes 1. Table is for guidance only. 2. Key: Not Possible Helicals 1. ROMTECH can make helicals from R6 to H12 for cage O/D up to 1050mm and in H16 for larger cage O/Ds as indicated by: 2. ROMTECH can make helicals of O/D ranging from 100mm to 2000mm. 3. The range shown can be pulled out to pitch on site. 4. Helicals can be made to pitch for smaller O/D but rings should preferably be specified. 5. Where helicals are made to pitch, steelfixers recommend that the overall axial length should not exceed 1.5m 2.0m. 6. Helicals made to pitch will incur an extra charge per tonne production cost over ROMTECHs normal selling price. 7. It should be noted that helicals made to pitch are extremely bulky and are likely to incur extra carriage costs. Rings 1. Rings should be specified for smaller O/Ds rather than helicals. ROMTECH can make rings in bar sizes 6mm to 25mm. 2. ROMTECH can make rings in O/D size from 100mm to 3000mm. 3. Rings can be made overlapped or welded. 4. When ordering overlapped rings, the lap is generally defined as 40 x dia. of the bar specified. 5. Welded rings will generally have a lap of 50mm unless specified otherwise. Note: lap may need a structural weld.
When ordering closed pitch helicals, please state the wire size, finished O/D, Number of turns & pitch of helical when pulled open. ROMTECH will calculate the O/D size of helical to allow for shrinkage, to finish up with your final O/D when pulled out to pitch.

The benefits of using reinforcing bar couplers to accelerate the speed of construction, increase productivity and simplify the design of reinforced concrete are widely recognised. The Ancon range includes tapered, threaded and mechanically bolted couplers.
Ancon Tapered Thread Standard couplers are designed to suit the majority of applications which call for the joining of reinforcing bars. The couplers are normally supplied fitted to the end of threaded bar, requiring only the engagement and tightening of the adjoining bar on site. Ancon specifies the use of a torque wrench in order to achieve correct and consistent installation.
The Ancon Tapered Thread Positional coupler is designed to be used in applications in which neither bar can be rotated. Having a degree of adjustability, the Positional coupler can also be used as a closer between two fixed bars. The couplers are normally supplied fitted to the end of threaded bar, requiring only the engagement and tightening of the adjoining bar on site. In order to ensure correct and consistent installation, Ancon Building Products specifies the use of a torque wrench.
The Ancon Tapered Thread Transition coupler connects reinforcing bars of different diameters. The coupler comprises an internally threaded sleeve with two right hand threads both of which are tapered towards the middle of the coupler. The diameter of each thread corresponds to the appropriate bar size. The couplers are normally supplied fitted to the end of threaded bar, requiring only the engagement and tightening of the adjoining bar on site. In order to ensure correct and consistent installation, Ancon Building Products specifies the use of a torque wrench.

Ground Anchors
Rock Bolting
Ground Anchors and Piles can be used to provide Global Stability in an Earthworks structure. They (unlike Soil Nails) are actively loaded from the onset. Temporary uses include tie backs to sheet piles, and temporary works stabilisation of open excavations during contract period.
Installed on a grillage, lightly-loaded, with a short shank length and without pre-tensioning. Hollow self drill option is quick and easy to install (drill, flush and grout in one operation). Harder drill bit (eg. Tungsten Carbide Button Bits) are also available. The product is also suitable for connecting friable surface material to hard substrate.
Micro Piling
Spile Applications
Stabilises existing structures through underpinning where installation access (both horizontal and vertical) is limited. Principle is that of single central bar and ability to couple this. Other applications include the upgrading of strip footings, stanchion bases and Network Rail power gantry bases.
Stabilise shallow depth ex-foliated rockface by tying back to the stable rock above, in preparation work for N.A.T.M. technique. Hollowbar format provides conduit for grouting. Exposed ends can be used to bolt on and support further reinforcement layers.

ROMTECHs Hollow Bar system is a continuously threaded left handed steel bar which can be drilled and grouted into loose, unstable and collapsing ground. The steel is a hollow configuration to allow for simultaneous drilling and grouting, a technique designed for eliminating the need for pre-casing, therefore increasing the installation rate. Produced from hollow steel tubular raw material, the bar is cold rolled into a standard ISO rope thread during which the formation of steel is enhanced, providing the yield strength. The rope thread provides an appropriate surface between the bar and the grout, therefore enabling a strong, resilient bond to be created. ROMTECH Self Drill Hollow Bar provides effective solutions for rock bolting, ground anchoring, micro piling, soil nailing and spiles applications.

Tie backs Due to the high variety of steel qualities and diameters, our threadbar system can fulfil the requirements of the different tie rod construction designs in an optimal way. Main applications of tie rods are bracing for embankments, sheet-pile, shed-roof and frame structures, as well as tie back retaining walls.
Installed by Dawson-Wam
Pre-stressed Soil and Rock Anchors Anchors are elements which introduce compression forces into the ground through tension members. For this, the anchorage head conducts the forces into the grouted body, which transfers the load safely into the surrounding material. Main areas of applications of Pre-stressed soil and rock anchors are slopes, embankments, excavations as well as cavern and tunnel construction. Anchor with single and double corrosion protection components: Threadbar Dome Nut Anchor Plate Pipe Socket Smooth Sheathing Cement Grout Spacer Injection and Protection Cap Corrosion Grease Vent Cap Corrugated Sheathing End Cap Post Tensioning System There has been a continuous development of the threadbar product into the various post tensioning applications inherent in glued, segmental bridge construction. Such techniques using various methods of cantilevering and incremental launching rely on the post tensioning bars for the longitudinal and transverse connection of segments both in the temporary and permanent sense. The ease of installing and stressing threadbar lends itself to applying a triaxial stress field to the concrete. This, as a means of crack control makes threadbar a prime candidate for marine applications.

Notes: 1. In general the RT550 and RT800 are ideal for soil nailing applications because they have an excellent range of accessories and the most beneficial yield properties. 2. RT1050 is widely regarded as the best grade for post-tensioning and other applications where exceptional tensile strength coupled with good elasticity is required. 3. Other grades have various properties which make them ideal for general reinforcement and formwork ties.

Corrosion Protection
ROMTECH offers a wide variety of corrosion protection systems to suit all ground conditions and applications from temporary anchors to Permanent Anchors Galvonising Epoxy coating Single Corrosion Protection Double Corrosion Protection Anchor head details DCP system consists of: Bar and couplers where necessary Internal spacers fixed to the bar to centralize it in the HDPE sheathing Inner cement grout HDPE or PVC corrugated sheathing End caps for grout feeding and air venting External spacers fixed to the external sheathing to ensure a minimum of 10mm grout cover External grout and vent tubes as required depending on ground conditions and bar inclination) External cement grout Storage instructions 1. Care should be taken at all times to ensure that the units are not damaged either by bending or mishandling 2. Storage of the nails and components should be in a properly covered and protected area 3. The manufactured components should be stored horizontally at all times 4. Finished units should never be stacked, but should be properly supported on timber racks to ensure they do not deflect Handling and site transport 1. Care should be taken when transporting the nails to the fabrication yard and from the yard to the borehole. The nails should be adequately supported (bracing or support at a maximum distance of 1.5 - 3.0m depending on diameter of bar) so as not to damage the pre-grouting. 2. To avoid bending the bar by lifting it, check carefully and if necessary, reduce distance of support. 3. During transport, the nails should be laid flat on suitable transport and with supports between the layers of nails. Care should be taken not to knock the nails so as to avoid the pre-grouting cracking. 4. The nails can be lifted and transported by crane with a brace of lifting device on the air-sided end of the bar (ring nut etc.). Take care that by lifting the bar does not bend and the end does not slip on the ground. ROMTECH can manufacture Anchor Head details to ensure corrosion protection at termination for any application size and specification.

Prefabrication
Prefabrication
ROMTECH Groundworks offer a complete off site CARES Approved (steel & welding Appendix 6) prefabrication service on
1. Ground beams, 2. Pile caps 3. Pad foundations 4. Toe beams 5. Shear Ladders 6. Retaining walls. 1 2 3
All cages are labelled for ease of identification, and are supplied with a layout drawing for accuracy and speed of placement. Splice bars are loose-tied inside the relevant cage Prefabrication offers a reduction in the need for skilled labour, which can lead to a reduction in programme, a reduction in waste caused by unforced errors, and an improvement in site Health and Safety. A key benefit of ROMTECH prefabrication is that semi - skilled site operatives are able to install cages in a few hours rather than the normal 1-2 days of the loose rebar option. Deliveries can be phased to an agreed programme: this being particularly useful in tight or restricted sites. Colour coded labels can be factory fitted for easy site identification of delivered components. Using customers General Arrangement (GA) and Reinforced Concrete (RC) drawings and schedules, we identify the opportunities for rebar prefabrication where appropriate. By liaising with The Engineer, we are able to provide alternative solutions which offer commercial cogency in terms of programme and site productivity. In addition, fewer prefabricated components of known weight & size, mean fewer, better organised site operations, leading to significant benefits in site Health and Safety. Such objectives are achieved for groundbeams by detailing for maximum prefab cage length with a minimum of loose rebar cage to cage connections. The provision of factory welded skid spacers provides soffit support to beam cages off the blinding and avoids the site fitting of separate spacer units. The colour coding of prefab beam elements, as depicted on the ROMTECH layout plan, offers the possibility of rapid, accurate site - installation. In addition, the LOLER - compliant cage offload system allows the consignment to be removed without the need to climb onto the vehicle deck. ROMTECH Shear Ladders avoid the usual sausage link detail which requires loose rebar upper and lower reinforcement layers in two way spanning suspended slabs. This product therefore permits the use of heavy prefabricated mesh layers above and below while furnishing both an adequate punching shear resistance in the finished slab and an effective means of spacing upper and lower mesh around the column head. In the case of retaining walls and suspended slabs, ROMTECH can offer the options of various bar diameters and centres, staggered bar locations and flying ends within its individual prefabricated mesh or mattress units. The main site benefits of these features are a reduced site installation period, an alleviation of congestion at laps and a reduction of the working at height element.

Beamform
Other Applications
Beamform is one of the most adaptable, versatile, easy to use, quick to install and environmentally friendly permanent formwork systems available today. The benefits of using Beamform as the preferred method of groundbeam formwork are extremely varied and are shared by the Client, Contractor and Groundworker. These parties can be confident that they are using a product which has been successfully used for the past decade, is suitable and fit for purpose, reduces waste, reduces programme, reduces the need for skilled tradesmen and improves Health and Safety. The pictures below demonstrate just how flexible and adaptable Beamform really is, whilst still maintaining concrete cover without any loss of quality in the finished foundation. Radius beams are no more difficult than straight beams. If necessary units can be scored on their outside face to open up to follow the line of the reinforcement. Stepped beam units are sufficiently strong and stiff so as to sit across connecting beams at step ends. They can be propped or tied into place using lacer bars allowing the stepped foundations to be monolithically poured. As well as being stacked, units can be stood on end. 2 units 750mm deep giving a formwork panel size of 1m x 1.5m. Acute or obtuse angles and triple pile caps are easy to install without the need for special corner pieces. Units can be used in un-reinforced trenches to save on wasted concrete. Single site operatives are able, with minimum supervision, to install in excess of 250m of Beamform per day

Suggested Spacers
Below Beams ROMTECH can supply concrete square bar spacers for heavy duty beam cages. These are available in a variety of covers and are 250mm or 1000mm long. However, we recommend our pre-attached skid spacer which saves site labour, can be preset to any cover dimension and fully complies with the structural test requirements of BS 7973. Beam Sides ROMTECH recommend the use of Grippa Plate Spacers. These push onto and grip the bars of the beam side without sliding down. Available with 40/50mm or 65/75mm cover will fit up to 16mm bar diameter.

Fillshield
ROMTECH Fillshield, manufactured from EPS, is another proven product within the Groundworks portfolio and is aimed predominantly at Civil Engineering Contractors for use in road or embankment construction. When constructing roads in difficult ground conditions, subsidence is often a problem. EPS is a lightweight, nondecaying, low water absorbing material, which prevents the effects of ground movement, and has several advantages over traditional material such as bark, sawdust or clay aggregate. Fillshield EPS will act indefinitely as an effective construction material during the lifetime of the project. ROMTECH Fillshield is available in 5 different grades to suit different applications, with compressive strengths ranging from 55kPa to 200kPa. None flame retardant grades are supplied as standard, in blocks of 2400 x 1200 x 600mm or 1600 x 1200 x 600mm, but flame retardant grades are available upon request. Availability is approximately 10 days, dependent upon grade, quantity and delivery address. Retaining Walls Bridge Underfill Bridge Abutments Road Construction Road Widening Culverts Rail Embankments Noise Bunds Landscaping Technical Specification available on request.
ROMTECH offer a full Technical Advisory service relating to these products to ensure that materials ordered are suitable for the application. Clay heave materials are normally available within 7-10 working days.

2. Place a Thermaflor raft unit into each corner with the overlap ledges sitting squarely onto the Edge Block modules previously installed. Place further raft units from each corner towards the centre of the proposed slab. If they do not meet exactly, cut to suit as before (Thermaflor has a unique edge and lap profile allowing easy, quick and accurate placing without the need of skilled labour or plant associated with other methods).

Once all raft units are installed, there will remain a cruciform gutter. These are infilled using the infill panels provided, cutting to suit as previously.
3. The future slab now has a continuous layer of insulation as well as a permanent shutter on which to pour the concrete. Insulation can now be placed into the wall cavity at a level which is above the proposed slab upper surface. The DPM or other membranes may be laid (to specification) directly onto the Thermaflor. Then mesh can be placed on suitable spacers ready for concreting.

Reinforcement Connection
The STARTABOX System
The STARTABOX System is a rapid, safe method of achieving high quality reinforcement connections in a structural concrete joint without formwork damage. It consists of specially selected high yield reinforcement steel conforming to BS 4449 housed in a perforated case with a tear-off plastic cover which protects the reinforcement until it is required for use. Speed STARTABOX is quickly nailed into the formwork. There is no need for timeconsuming drilling and cutting of the formwork. The formwork can be easily struck and re-erected thereby reducing intervals between pours. Safe The steel starter bars are housed within their case until ready for use. There are no protruding bars which may corrode or become damaged and present a hazard to workmen. Cost The formwork suffers no damage and therefore may be re-used many times. This contrasts with normal stop-ends which only offer one use. Quality Traditional stop-ends often suffer grout loss. STARTABOX is nailed to plain formwork and does not suffer the same problem. This means that STARTABOX will deliver a high quality construction joint every time. Site Take off and scheduling service available
Case Sizes
N.B. The Type 11 case with 16mm bars is produced with single bars only. Cases containing 8,10 and 12mm bars supplied 30mm deep. Cases containing 16mm bar supplied 50mm deep with steel lids for greater rigidity.
Re-bending tools available from stock. 8-10mm bar, order re-bending tool 1. For 12 to 16mm bar, order re-bending tool 2.

Additional Products
Curved STARTABOX STARTABOX can be manufactured to a customers desired internal or external radius. A typical situation would be the use of STARTABOX in the construction of launder channels in round tanks in the water treatment industry. STARTABOX with Integral Waterstop (STARTASTOP) STARTABOX can be manufactured incorporating a hydrophilic waterstop strip on both the internal and external face of the casing. This is especially useful for construction joints in below ground situations or within water retaining structures. The hydrophilic strip used is passed for use in potable water situations. STARTABOX Coupler Combinations Where reinforcement bar diameters or congestion of reinforcement bar restricts the use of STARTABOX. We can manufacture and supply a reinforcement bar coupler system. These couplers can be detailed in conjunction with STARTABOX and can even be included in the same joint detail. STARTABOX Cross Wall Connection Where two walls bisect each other STARTABOX can be manufactured to accommodate the pull out bars for both faces of a wall in one single strip. This ensures the reinforcement runs continuously through the bisecting wall.

The Buyer hereby acknowledges that he has not entered into this Contract on the basis of any representation, made oral or in writing, by the Seller, its employees or agents and that he therefore relied on his judgment alone when entering into the Contract. 2.3 In the event of delivery being delayed by fire, accident, strikes, lockouts, delay in receipt of materials or bought-in goods or any other Condition beyond the reasonable control of the Seller, a reasonable extension of time for delivery shall be granted and the Buyer shall pay such reasonable extra charges as shall have been occasioned by the delay. However, the Seller shall have the right to suspend or terminate the Contract, on giving written notice. During any period of such suspension the Seller shall have the right to terminate the Contract, subject to further notice in writing. Where the Contract is suspended by the Seller all obligations imposed on either party by the contract shall be held in abeyance for the period of such suspension. Where the Seller elects to terminate the Contract, such termination shall not affect liabilities on the Buyers part which fell due before termination. 2.4 Any quotation is without engagement and is subject to written confirmation by the Seller on receipt of order. 2.5 The Sellers quotation (if any) is made on the understanding that the whole of the quantity of the Goods and/or Services quoted for will be ordered and supplied.
