DELTAS-MS replaces the traditional lean concrete subbase course below foundation slabs and accelerates construction

 

 

The use of DELTA-MS 20 offers a proper solution to the problem, in that it is cut to size in one piece and laid around the inner formwork. When the formwork is removed, the dimpled sheeting is easily removed in one piece.

The examples mentioned show that dimpled sheetings can provide the solution to many current problems of building technology, and ensure a speedy, efficient, and smooth progress of construction.

DELTAS-MS 20 serves as a formwork liner when constructing foundations for precast concrete columns. The necessary internal profiles are ensured in a simple and efficient way.

A particularly high level of safely is attained when DELTA Barrier Sheeting is combined with DELTA-MS or DELTA-MS 20. Here the dimpled sheeting is placed with the stud side downwards on the sealing, creating a cavity which can be continually monitored, in which chemicals which may have leaked can be quickly discovered and washed out through a special pipe system.

Blinding Layer for Foundation Slabs. Until now reinforced foundation slabs have been cast on an expensive previously constructed subbase. Usually leanmix concrete is used for this. However, because of the necessary setting and curing time, a substantial time period is taken up by this procedure, not forgetting the excavation of approximately 5 cm depth.

Instead of lean concrete DELTA-MS can also be used as a subbase course. The dimpled sheeting, rolled out on a thin bed of sand, provides a sturdy base of adequate compressive strength, which can be worked on immediately without any loss of time, and the reinforcement spacers and the reinforcement for the foundation slab can be placed.

DELTA-MS in Blinding Layer Applications The Approved Alternative to Lean Concrete Subbases
Important news for statics engineers -Munster Polytechnic Institute in Germany has given the following expert appraisal regarding foundation blinding layers: "DELTA-MS can be used in place of concrete subbase courses without any reservations from soil mechanics and structural engineering viewpoints".

Foundations for Precast Concrete Columns
In compliance with DIN 1045 foundations for precast concrete columns must have profiled inner surfaces, so that the loads arising can be properly accommodated and transmitted. Until now this profiling has been formed by timber strips set in the formwork, which have to be broken out again when removing the formwork - a laborious and time consuming business.
