RIB & BLOCK
RIB & BLOCK
We manufacture all the components for the Rib and Block system which is a modular system used for building concrete slabs for newly built homes. It is a very economical system as no conventional formwork is required prior casting the concrete slab. A lot of effort and time is saved when comparing the rib and block system versus the conventional systems. Ribs are put in place and supported with props. FT90/140/200 blocks are placed between the ribs and act as fillers (these replace the wooden formwork). Once all is in place additional steel mesh if fixed to the ribs and concrete is poured, and after a couple of weeks the props are removed. Ribs are manufactured in specified lengths to be placed over the required openings as designed by a qualified structural engineer.
