Applications
EXISTING WALL
Aluma-Coil™ Ties provide a simple and low-cost solution for securing formwork to existing structures for one-sided forming. They can eliminate additional hardware and labor over other methods.
Typical Existing Walls: Concrete • Wood Lagging • Brick • Sheet piling • Hollow concrete block • Rock
BLIND SIDE WALLS
Steel Dog® Aluma-Coil™ Ties and Rebar Hooks provide a fast and low-cost way to use Stay-Form® stay-in-place expanded metal mesh to form blind side walls (where clearances on one side are too tight to allow for removal of reusable forms).
ADJUSTABLE LENGTH TIES
Aluma-Coil™ Ties can be threaded back-to-back to create long- or unusual-length ties with different end configurations
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS • Battered walls • Mass pours • Pile caps • Pilasters
