Rapidwall’s Accessories

·         Needs to be taken in the positioning of reinforcement bars to ensure they are centrally located in all cavities after the panels are installed.

·         They can either be installed during the pouring of the slab or later, holes drilled in the slab after it has cured. In the latter case the bars are inserted into holes and secured with epoxy grout or in accordance with certifying engineers specification

·         When lifting a Rapidwall panel it is extremely important to always have control of the panel. This is especially so when lifting overhead with a crane as the mass and the large surface area can act like a sail.

·         Plastic double rebar chairs provide a clearance of ¾" [19mm]
between rebar and bottoms of Quad-Deck beams or lintels.

·         Meets minimum concrete encasement requirements
in most jurisdictions and applications.

·         A spreader bar is used as the additional support when lifting panels to distribute the weight of the panel over a wider area. It minimizes the bending action of the panel and significantly reduces the risk of the panel breaking. The bar needs to be rigid enough to withstand the forces exerted on it by the panel.

·         Metal studs are the preferred cavity closing device. As part of the factory cutting process, metal studs, 92 x 35mm x 1.15 base metal thickness (bmt) are installed into the panel cut ends.
