Tie Rod

A Tie Rod is an essential component used in formwork systems for concrete construction to hold and secure formwork panels together, maintaining the correct spacing and preventing them from bulging under the pressure of wet concrete. It is a tension member that ensures stability and alignment during the concrete pouring and curing process.

Key Features of Tie Rods:

High Tensile Strength: Tie rods are typically made of steel or other strong materials, capable of withstanding the pressure exerted by wet concrete, especially in large and heavy structures.

Threaded Design: They are usually threaded at both ends, allowing for the attachment of formwork accessories like nuts, washers, and anchor plates. This threading also allows for easy tightening and adjustment.

Corrosion Resistance: In many cases, tie rods are galvanized or coated to resist rust and corrosion, which is particularly important in outdoor or long-term construction projects.

Reusable: In many applications, tie rods can be reused multiple times, making them a cost-effective solution for formwork systems.

Sizes and Lengths: Available in various diameters (usually ranging from 12mm to 25mm) and lengths, tie rods can be adjusted or cut to meet the specific needs of a construction project.
