Product Information

Our Piling Tubes are ideal for many groundworks, civil engineering and piling projects. Commonly, they are just known as cardboard tubes for concrete. They are perfect to be placed on uneven ground prior to concrete being poured to ensure a level base. We would use a 5 gallon plastic drum, similar to the large feb containers, cut top and bottom of, cut straight up the side, then compress it to required diameter, hold together with tying wire.

Must admit I have never seen one I assume it's just a large dia loo roll centre! If so would the carboard tubes that come inside carpets be any good they are about 4" dia? If so I'm sure a local carpet shop would be happy to get rid of one. Monotub D.D. is 100% water resistant, which means the concrete formwork can be stored outside, without the risk of damaging the quality of the column former. It is advisable to store the tubes vertically to prevent them from deforming.

Compact the gravel with a wood post. Use the blunt end of the post to tamp the gravel down flat. This will force the piece closer together, offering increased stability and creating a more level base.

They serve as a great foundation where the heavy weight will be applied above. A special type of industrial tube , the special slip coating allows for movement of clay around the pile, thus greatly reducing stress normally transferred through the said pile. Pouring the concrete is easy with Monotub D.D. because of its strength it is possible to pour the column in one move. However, you will get the best result when the concrete is condensed after every 50 cm. With longer columns it is advisable to prevent the concrete from falling too deep, as this may cause damage to the inside of the formwork. Removing the Column Form We have been supplying cardboard tubes to continental Europe where concrete is extensively used for many years. There they are utilised for producing aesthetically pleasing visible columns or for footings where they can play a valuable role in reducing labour on excavation and of course help in a cost reduction for each project.

This reduced the amount of excavation needed and also reduces the time taken, being both cost and time effective.Figure out how deep the support needs to sit. Refer to your local building codes to find the depth requirements for the concrete support footings of structures being built in your area. Most of the time, footings will need to reach below the topsoil frost line to prevent them from shifting as the ground freezes and thaws. confirm availability before visiting. We can also provide fast nationwide delivery of all sizes of concrete forms. Use a handsaw to cut the tube to length. Lay the tube on its side and line up the teeth of the saw blade with the marking you just made. Saw straight through the tube using smooth, precise strokes, steadying it with your free hand while you work. It may help to do your sawing on grass or another soft surface to keep the tube from rolling or sliding. [6] X Research source Insert the form tube into the support hole. Slide the tube in with the sawed-end down so that the upper end is straight and level. Once you've got the tube in the hole, press down firmly from the top to sink it deeper into the gravel base.
