Hi-rib lath/High Ribbed Formwork

Description of Hi-rib lath

Hi-rib lath (high ribbed lath/High Ribbed Formwork) is manufactured from hot-dipped galvanized steel sheets. has been applied to the concrete structure of projects all over the world. Because it has better stress stress strength and free shape. 

It is mostly used as concrete permanent dismantle free template for civil engineering such as tunnel, bridge, raft-style foundation, sewer system, subways, retaining wall, nuclear power station, docks, storing tanks, skysrapers, ocean engineering and irregular or curved shapes.

Installation of Hi-rib Lath:
Hi-rib lath is ideal for refurbishing damaged or aged masonry walls, when a key for rendering is not certain due to disintegration or softening of the wall face.
Lath should be fixed with apexes of ribs against the wall, edge ribs of sheets nesting into each other should be wire-tied every 15cm and ends of sheets should be lapped not less than 2.5cm and nesting ribs securely tied together.
Stainless steel fixings should be used at sufficient intervals to hold the lath firmly in position.

Characters of Hi-rib Lath: 
(1) Mechanical performance is good, by lateral pressure small 
(2) Directly observed pouring process 
(3) Light weight, convenient transportation and installation 
(4) Optimizing the process, increase shear interface 
(5) Easy to wear muscle and continuous binding reinforced 
(6) Adapt to block pouring concrete, the construction of civilization 
(7) Set out by and easy operation
