Pre-StiRex
Pre-StiRex Corrugated Sheathing ducts, Plus + StiRex ducts and flat ducts, manufactured from HDPE, have a unique application in the field of internal bonded post tensioning of tendons in pre-stressed concrete viz. projects such as flyovers and bridges, nuclear containments, offshore platforms, via ducts, underpasses, tunnels etc. Flat ducts are especially popular in the construction sectors where use of round section ducts in post tensioned slabs is not possible due to the slab thickness constraints.
Features & Benefits
- Corrosion protection
- Helps electrical monitaring of tendons
- Good weathering resistance
- Good impact and compression strength
- Good bond with concrete
- Speedy installation due to fewer joints
- Chemically inert
- Environment friendly
- High stiffness and flexibility
- Even when bent, cross section of the duct retains its circularity
- Wobble co-efficient observed k = 0.00116/M
- Friction co-efficient observed u = 0.068
Additional Details
Jointing
Easy jointing & Speedy Installations:
HDPE sheathing in coils requires fewer joints than conventional sheathing. Its light weight reduces the need for manpower and heavy equipment handling. Total installation time can be reduced considerably.
Methods for jointing:
- Jointing with buttwelding
- Snapfit couplers
- Heat shrink sleeves
- Split couplers
