matter what ground conditions or what stone is used. High strength wovens are available for
reinforcement applications.

Geotec 90
Geotec 90 is a woven geotextile used as a separator in all types of civil engineering, building and
landfill projects. Its woven construction delivers high tensile and puncture strengths, making
it particularly suitable in separation applications. Geotec 90 is manufactured from extruded
polypropylene tapes that are resistant to all naturally occurring soil acids and alkalis and are
unaffected by bacteria and fungi. Geotec 90 can be used below access roads (both temporary and
permanent) to create a barrier on which to place the crushed stone foundation layer.

Secugrid
SIG Geotechnical Centre offer a comprehensive range of Geogrids, both Uniaxial and Biaxial,
available in polypropylene and polyester. With a range of strengths from 20 to 400kN, Secugrid
can be used in most building and civil engineering applications including piling mats, basal
and embankment reinforcement. Secugrids are the next generation of Geogrids produced with
state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. The reinforcement element is highly orientated
polypropylene or polyester bar that is uniformly extruded and drawn to achieve high modulus and
strength at low elongation, which provides a structurally sound stable Geogrid.
Secugrid absorbs tensile forces induced into the soil and distributes the stresses through the high
tensile strength bars. The transfer of force takes place by two distinct modes - Interlocking of the
granular soil into the grid apertures which physically restrains lateral movement of the granular
base course material and friction force transfer between the soil and the wide flat bars of Secugrid.
The Secugrid apertures allow for strike through of the cover soil material which then interlock with
the bars, providing confinement of the overlaying granular/soil material due to the strength and
stiffness of the ribs. This interlocking of the soil combined with the very high product modulus,
minimises soil deformation and ensures the integrity of the application. Large aperture grids are
available where the fill has a partial size of over 75mm.

Combigrid
Combigrid is a biaxial Geogrid incorporating a non-woven geotextile. With Combigrid, the
geotextile layer is heat-bonded between the lateral and longitudinal grid elements, forming a
completely integrated finished product. Combigrids are mainly used in conjunction with soft and
low CBR (California Bearing Ratio) soils where soil reinforcement in conjunction with separation
and filtration is required. The main advantages over using separate products are that Combigrid
reduces handling, storage and installation time and costs.

Load Bearing
As a surface reinforcement system SIG
Geotechnical Centre Web provides a strong and
stable load bearing surface giving the soil up
to 17 times its normal load bearing capacity.
Supporting and isolating the load bearing
surface from the weaker sub grades below, SIG
Web solves the load bearing issue whilst giving
an aesthetically pleasing finish.

Erosion Control And Slope Stabilisation


When used on embankments SIG Geotechnical
Centre Web increases the soil’s natural
resistance to erosion whilst also providing
protection to the root zone. The confinement
system of SIG Web allows the soil to be held
in place preventing movement that would
normally take place due to hydrodynamic and
gravitational forces, preventing soil erosion and
providing a stable embankment.

Tree Root Protection


SIG Geotechnical Centre Web is an ideal
solution for tree root protection. The Web
provides a stable and firm surface for roads
and paths in areas where there are trees
and Geotechnical Centre offers long term
performance by evenly spreading the load
reducing sub soil compaction above the roots.
The permeable structure of the Web allows the
migration of water and nutrients to the tree
root to encourage healthy growth.


30 Groundwork Engineering
Turfguard
While grassed areas provide a naturally aesthetic environment, when
they have been trafficked on by either vehicles or pedestrians there is a

durable, these liners prevent damage by invasive root growth giving protection to structures such
as roadways, pipelines and housing.

Weed Control Fabrics


SIG Geotechnical Centre weed barrier fabrics have high filtration properties coupled with
excellent puncture resistance making them ideal weed suppressants by massively reducing root
penetration into the soil but allowing water and nutrients to enter the soil. These control weeds
without the need for the use of chemicals. Available in mini packs for domestic use in garden or
patio applications through to large 450 square metres rolls for large landscaping projects.

Japanese Knotweed Barrier-DGW and Rootex
DGW
DGW is a specially coated impermeable polypropylene geomembrane specifically used for the
containment and encapsulation of Japanese Knotweed. Available in prefabricated panels to
increase speed of installation.
Root X
Root X is a unique permeable root barrier consisting of a layer of copper sandwiched between
two layers of geotextile. Root X is predominantly used in the control of Japanese Knotweed. The
copper foil releases inert chemical traces which shoots and roots are adverse to. The copper ions
are minute and as a result do not create a burden on the eco-system or groundwater. Root X
provides significant cost savings as it controls Japanese Knotweed completely on site, removing
the need to transport contaminated material from site or the need to construct large plastic boxes
to encapsulate the contaminated soil. When installed correctly, Root X enables contaminated
areas to be completely sealed off and built over.
Groundwork Engineering 33

Geocomposite/Geoflow Drainage
SIG Geotechnical Centre offers an extensive range of geocomposite
drainage and gas venting layers. Replacing the traditional method of
granular stone drainage the Geoflow system offers real cost savings in
both material and installation costs.

Geoflow is made up of a high strength, high
flow cuspated HDPE core which forms a void
to drain or vent with a filter geotextile on
one or both sides. When used as part of a
waterproofing system Geoflow acts as both a
drainage layer reducing water pressure and as
protection to the waterproofing membrane.
It is ideal for retaining walls, buried structures,
underground reservoirs, roof gardens and
tunnels. Geoflow can also be used on landfill
sites and highway edge drainage.
Applications
• Retaining wall drainage
• Bridge abutments
• Sports fields
• Edge of highways (Fin drains)
• Buried structures
• Gas venting
• Underground reservoirs
• Green roofs
• Cavity drainage and structural waterproofing
• Block paving drainage
Benefits
• No need for expensive imported fill
• Extremely cost effective against traditional
stone drainage methods
• Little excavation needed
• Quick and easy installation
• Acts as a drainage and protection layer
• Full technical and on-site support
• A vast product range to suit any application
34 Groundwork Engineering
Structural
Geoflow can be used horizontally or vertically in applications such as buried structures, bridge
abutments, basement walls and behind retaining walls giving high performance flow whilst
maintaining its integrity even under extreme loads.

Sports Field and Block Paving Drainage


Geoflow can be produced in strips between 100mm and 300mm deep fully encapsulated in a
geotextile filter for drainage under block paving or in sport fields, giving a cost effective alternative
to traditional methods. Block paving Geoflow strips can be used to aid drainage and prevent the
sand drainage layer from becoming too saturated; liquefying and dispersing through the joints,
which when trafficked will potentially cause the surface to become uneven and unstable.

Edge Of Highway Drainage/Fin Drains


Geoflow Fin drains can be produced for edge of highway drainage. These products are cost
effective when compared to traditional methods as there is no need to excavate a large trench or
import expensive stone.

Landfill Drainage and Venting


SIG Geotechnical Centre provide a range of drainage and venting products for landfill sites, ranging
from landfill cap drainage, gas collection and venting and leachate drainage layers.

80 Reinforcement & Formwork
Epobar Resin
The EPOBAR resin used for the fixing of steel
reinforcements in concrete is an injectable
resin inserted in the drill hole (-50% volume)
using an injection tool and its nozzle. Thus, by
passing through the nozzle, the 2 constituents
of the cartridge (vinylester resin + hardener)
are mixed to cause a chemical reaction
which is going to allow the EPOBAR resin to
progressively harden.
Once the resin is injected, the steel rebar is
inserted in the drill hole down to the effective
anchoring depth. The resin is thus going to be
spread around the steel reinforcements and the
fixture is then going to adhere to the concrete
walls.
The EPOBAR resin can be used in cracked or
hollow concrete and in other solid building
materials. The concrete can be dry or wet.

Diamond Dowels
Diamond dowels offer a better performing,
more easily installed alternative to traditional
dowels. 6mm x 115mm square diamond
dowel used at 450mm centres gives equivalent

300mm centres. Simply nail the Diamond
Dowel sleeve to formwork prior to first pour,
and then push the Diamond Dowels into the
sleeve immediately prior to second pour.

Strip Joint Corners


This provides the benefits of an armoured joint
arris for tied or free contraction joints and is
designed to be used with traditional timber
forms. It is manufactured from 10mm thick x
50mm deep square edged bright mild metal
strip which has a very flat top surface (unlike
hot rolled strip or angle, which produces a
radiused top edge). 10mm diameter x 100mm
long shear studs are stud­-welded to the strips
to ensure maximum keying into the slab.
Angle metal strips are supplied for tied joints
with shear studs welded on both sides of the
strip to tie into the concrete on either side of
the joint. Double Metal Strips are supplied for
free contraction joints which have shear studs
welded on one side of each strip. The two strips
are hollow doweled together and an 8mm
nylon bolt passes through the dowel which
shears when the joint opens.

Tiefill
For the filling of tie-holes formed by formwork bolts in new construction, particularly where
a rapid setting, durable, waterproof mortar is required. Tiefill is a single component, polymer
modified, fibre reinforced, Portland cement based repair compound, which exhibits unique
hydraulic properties to produce a rapid curing mortar with enhanced polymer properties. It only
requires the addition of clean water to give a rapid setting, yet durable high strength mortar and
is ideally suited for the filling of voids particularly in new construction which need to be rapidly
put into service, such as tie-holes, grout-holes and voids around fixings. For the treatment of
tie-holes formed by through-ties, any remaining plastic tube should be cut back and removed to
approximately 40-50mm from the concrete face. To eliminate the possibility of water tracking
around the plastic tube, it should be plugged with cork or a proprietary stopper. Tiefill is a WRAS
approved product confirming suitability for use in contact with potable water and it is CE Marked
in compliance with EN 1504-3 Class R4.

Clayshield 3.3
Clayshield is an inexpensive, low density, BBA
Certified EPS compressible material which
forms a buffer between soil and structure,
compressing with the soil movement thus
alleviating the pressure on the foundation.
It does not degrade, is resistant to water and
unaffected by extremes in temperature, thus
will remain effective for the life of the building.
It is available in a variety of standard sizes in
the form of plain boards for application to the
side/underside of ground beams and trench
foundations.
It is also available as a castellated design in
a range of widths and thicknesses for fitting
under reinforced concrete ground beams. Pile
collars are also available in a variety of widths
and thicknesses to suit trench dimensions.

Clayboard®
Clayboard® is a unique, environmentally
friendly void former and foundation stabiliser
developed by Dufaylite. Clayboard® is a
biodegradable honeycomb core set between
lightweight polypropylene facings. When dry,
Clayboard® is strong enough to support the
weight of wet concrete and steel reinforcement.
Water is introduced to the Clayboard® core
once the concrete is set, degrading the
Clayboard® honeycomb centre which will
ultimately lead to the creation of a void. This
space will accommodate clay expansion
without exerting undue pressure on the
structure above. The resulting void continues
to accommodate natural soil shrinkage and
expansion.
Sizes: Clayboard® is supplied in panels
2440mm long by 1000mm wide, by the
specified thickness. Clayboard® is delivered to
site on lightweight pads for easy unloading and
is polythene wrapped for protection.
Thickness: Thickness depends on the depth of
the required void which should be specified
by the soil engineers taking into account the
plasticity index.

Reinforcement Continuity Systems


These are manufactured in a robust, all steel, Standard Unit Stirrup Types:
galvanised case developed to withstand the
rigours of site handling and conditions. The
case is designed to remain embedded in the
concrete and its indented profile provides
an excellent initial bond and subsequent
key where structural joints are made. The
profile’s efficiency is in the bonding of two
concrete surfaces and eliminates any need for
manual preparation at the joint. The ultimate
configuration of case, bar, shape & dimensions
is almost infinite - so for simplicity, the tables
(right) contain ONLY the most regularly
requested combinations. If your requirement is
not catered for in the tables, please contact our
sales staff.

Eazistrip Continuity System
Eazistrip Reinforcement Continuity Systems are designed to maintain continuity of reinforcement at
construction joints in concrete. Formwork design is simplified and there is no need to drill shuttering.
Each unit consists of a galvanised steel casing which is dimpled to provide an effective concrete
bond. Pre-bent bars are housed within the box and are secured by a protective cover. When the
cover is removed the bars can be straightened ready for lapping onto the main reinforcement. Bars
must be straightened only once, using an Eazistrip re-bending tool. When the potential for water
ingress through the construction joint is a major concern, Eazistrip can be supplied with a Pentaflex
hydrostatic seal which provides protection against moisture permeation along the joint face.
Eazistrip Reinforcement Continuity systems are manufactured from CARES
approved bar. The grade of reinforcing bar complies with the tensile
requirements of BS4449:2005 Grade B500C. The bars are bent in accordance
with BS8666.
Ancon is phasing out the use of steel covers on Eazistrip systems, replacing
them with a heavy duty plasticised cardboard alternative. User feedback
suggests these covers are quicker and safer to remove.
Currently all 10mm and 12mm systems are supplied with the cardboard cover.
The 16mm system will be supplied with steel covers in the short term, however
should you require this system with a cardboard cover please advise SIG at the time of ordering.
Standard Range Specifications
The following tables give details of the Eazistrip standard ranges. Many customers require
purpose-made units to suit their particular application. In order to meet this requirement Ancon
will manufacture according to your specific bar arrangement. The most common shapes are shown
overleaf. We can provide custom-built shapes to meet your configuration. For further details please

Two general types of coupler are available:
• The A12 type requires that one of the two
bars being joined is free to rotate and lock
into position
• The P14 type is used where both bars being
joined are fixed and unable to rotate. Both
types available in sizes to suit 12-50mm
diameter bars

MBT Couplers
The MBT range of couplers provides a
cost-effective method of joining reinforcing
bars, particularly when the fixed bar is already
in place and there is insufficient space for a
hydraulic swaging press. They are easy to install
and achieve failure loads higher than 115% of
the characteristic yield strength of grade 500
reinforcing bar. Neither bar end preparation to
form threads, nor bar rotation are required. MBT
couplers can also be used to join imperial, plain
round or deformed reinforcing bars.
When the pre-determined tightening torque for
the bolts is reached, the heads shear off leaving
the top of the installed bolt slightly proud of the
coupler. This provides an instant visual check of
correct installation.

MBT ET Series
ET series couplers are used to connect
reinforcing bars of the same size. They can be
used when neither bar can be rotated and are
available in sizes 10mm to 40mm.

Shear Load Connectors


Ancon shear connectors offer significant
advantages over conventional single dowels.
The two-part construction means that the
sleeve component can be simply nailed to
the formwork, drilling or either formwork
or concrete is not required. The dowel unit
can then be inserted into the sleeve. The
engineered nature of the two components
ensures alignment, vital where movement is
required.

DSD
The DSD is the original two-part, double dowel,
shear load connector. The dowel component
can move longitudinally within the sleeve to
accommodate movement.

DSDQ
The DSDQ shear load connector uses the
same dowel component as the DSD, but
the cylindrical sleeve is contained within
a rectangular box section to allow lateral
movement in addition to the longitudinal
movement.

ESD
This single dowel shear connector is available
in four sizes with each size available in two
lengths. ESD shear connectors are used where
the slab or wall is too thin for DSD, and where
loads are small.

ESDQ
The ESDQ shear load connector uses the same
dowel as the ESD, but the cylindrical sleeve
is contained within a rectangular box section
to allow lateral movement in addition to
longitudinal movement.

128 Reinforcement & Formwork
Ancon Lockable Dowels
Lockable dowels allow an initial
phase of movement in a concrete
frame and are then locked in
position by a mechanical plate and
resin. The locked dowel continues
to transfer shear load.
They are used at temporary
movement joints, most commonly
found in post-tensioned concrete.
These dowels eliminate the need
for pour strips which removes a trip
hazard from site and significantly
reduces slab propping times,
making construction safer and
faster.

Ancon ESDQ-L20
The original lockable dowel for slab-to-slab
joints. It allows for initial movement to take
place and then, after a predetermined period
(generally 60-120 days) is locked with a two
part epoxy resin poured into the L-shaped grout
box.

dowel compartment is manufactured from
30mm diameter Duplex stainless steel. One
end of the dowel is designed to fix into the
stainless steel Ancon SKS24 Threaded Anchor
cast into the face of the concrete, and the other
end features a series of grooves to accept the
locking plate.

Isokorb thermal break modules
The Isokorb range of thermal break
modules from Schöck is a highly effective
countermeasure against the heat and energy
loss, moisture formation and resultant mould
growth and structural damage caused by
thermal bridges – a problem particularly
associated with cantilever components such
as balconies. The range allows connections The type K for concrete-to-concrete
to be made between concrete-to-concrete,
concrete-to-steel and steel-to-steel. The many
different unit types available, combined with
their ability to enable the transmission of shear,
bending movement, tension and compression
forces, also means that the options available
effectively run into hundreds when the
different combinations are taken into account.
All units are very simple to install, due to the The type KS for concrete-to-steel
thermal break reinforcement being integral
to the module; and Schock provides setting
out drawings as standard for the concrete–to-

that the temperature factor used to indicate
condensation risk (fRSI) must be greater than,
or equal to, 0.75 for dwellings, residential
buildings and public buildings.
The proven outstanding technical performance

Ancon lsolan
The Ancon lsolan system joins external
concrete balconies to internal concrete
floor slabs. It provides continuity to both the
reinforcement and the thermal insulation of
the wall protecting the building against the
effects of cold bridging. Standard systems,
comprising rigid CFC-free polystyrene insulation
and stainless steel shear reinforcement, are
available in five heights to suit different slab
depths. Conventional reinforcing bars provide
the tension and compression reinforcement.
System Benefits
Ancon lsolan connectors use conventional
reinforcing bars (grade 500B to BS4449:
2005) to provide the tension and compression
reinforcement. When compared to systems
where this reinforcement is an integral
component, the Ancon lsolan solution can
provide substantial cost savings and simplify
specification, scheduling, transportation,
handling and installation.

Cast-in Channels
Cast-in Channels range from simple
self anchoring slots for accepting
restraint fixings to large capacity
channels with integral anchors.
They provide the necessary
adjustment required when fixing
to concrete and can eliminate site
drilling. Nail holes aid the fixing
of channels to timber formwork
and infill prevents the ingress of
concrete during casting.
Channel profiles available for
casting in are: 21/18, 28/15, 38/17,
30/20, 41/27, 40/25, 49/30, 54/33,
and 72/49.

Ancon 30/20
Ancon 30/20 is a high performance channel.
The unique shape allows the applied load
to be fed directly from the channel lips to
the anchors and the more compact section
size improves its fit between reinforcement.
Specially designed T-head bolts ride up the
sloping sides of the channel and securely lock

Concrete Curing, Hardening and Sealing
Safecure Standard
Water Based, Medium Efficiency Concrete
Curing Compound
SAFECURE STANDARD is a spray-on temporary
membrane to retain moisture in freshly
placed concrete. It is formulated to prevent
evaporation of the gauging water and provides
an economical and efficient method for curing
concrete.
SAFECURE STANDARD is a clear, low viscosity
liquid which has an alkali reactive emulsion
breaking system. This system ensures that the
emulsion breaks down to form a penetrating
continuous film immediately upon contact
with a cementitious surface. This impervious
film prevents excessive water evaporation
which in turn permits more efficient cement
hydration, reducing shrinkage and increasing
durability. The membrane once formed is
degraded over a period of time depending on
the conditions of exposure.
Benefits
• Reduces surface shrinkage and cracking
by controlling moisture loss from exposed
surfaces

Concrete Remover
Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover is designed exclusively to clean concrete construction
equipment and does not contain any Muriatic, Phosphoric or Citric acids and is therefore
non-corrosive. It is safe to use on painted surfaces, aluminium, glass and rubber. It is safe for
both human handling and for the environment. Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover is biologically
degradable and can be discarded in the normal sewage system (EAK 17 09 04).
How it works:
Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover contains active substances that break down the molecules that
bind the cement together with sand and water.
Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover is mixed with water to the desired strength and applied as a
foam to the item concerned, using for example, a handheld foamer. The foam should be left to
act on the concrete for 20-45 minutes. Then clean off the item thoroughly with a high-pressure
cleaner or with water and a stiff brush. In cases where there is heavy buildup, the treatment can

Bentonite Geotextile Waterproofing
Bentonite has been used by the construction industry in waterproofing
systems for more than 30 years. Naturally occurring sodium bentonite
has exceptional waterproofing qualities, with its ability to swell when
in contact with water and convert from dry clay to impervious gel.
Manufacturers have harnessed this waterproofing power by containing
sodium bentonite between two layers of geotextile, creating the ideal
system for sealing reinforced concrete structures. Can be installed in
virtually any weather condition.
Bentonite membrane forms a continuous mechanical bond to concrete.
This bond is created when the strong geotextile fibres are encapsulated
by poured concrete as shown in the illustration.

through in-situ concrete construction joints.
Sodium bentonite swells when in contact with
water, forming an impermeable barrier. This
swelling property allows the Waterstop to form
a permanent pressure seal within the concrete
joint, thus eliminating water migration over or
along the waterstop. The key to the product’s
effectiveness is its 75% sodium bentonite
content, which provides superior expansion,
to seal and fill voids and cracks within the
concrete. Waterstop is an active bentonite
based waterstop, that is designed to replace
passive PVC/rubber type waterbars, thereby
eliminating the requirement of special pieces

Swellseal 8V
Swellseal 8V is an elastic strip made out of a combination of rubber and a hydrophilic resin.
Enclosed between prefabricated concrete elements, it will expand in contact with water and in
this way seal the joint. Swellseal 8V has a swelling capacity of up to 800 times when in contact
with water.
Thanks to its high swelling capacity Swellseal 8V is extremely appropriate for applications with
polluted water, in case of higher water pressure in zones with changing water table (wet/dry
cycles).
• Type F: For sealing construction joints between precast elements
• Type S: For sealing joints between precast tunnel segments
• Swellseal 8V can only function properly in a confined space
The expansion of Swellseal 8V will create a certain pressure. Installation in the middle of the joint
is preferred.
