ReidBar™ Grout Sleeve System

The ReidBar™ Grout Sleeve system provides a full strength splicing solution for reinforcing bars allowing reinforcing continuity between load-bearing precast concrete elements.

The ReidBar Grout Sleeve system is engineered for the task, and unlike drossbach ducts, require no modification, reducing production and installation costs, and eliminating error. Also, compared to Drossbach ducts,  the ReidBar Grout sleeve system minimises reinforcement congestion. On-site, the system keeps the team safe through relying on short embedment depths, reducing worksite hazards.

The system is supported by technical assistance at every stage, face-face-training, procedures and checklists that take the guesswork out of construction.  Backed by third-party accredited quality, the ReidBar Grout Sleeve system can be depended on, whether you’re manufacturing precast concrete panels or installing on-site.

Being independently certified (CodeMark Certificate Number BRANZ-CM-1024), they enable designers to create efficient construction joints between precast concrete elements with confidence.

Features & Benefits:

• Independently certified (CodeMark Certificate Number BRANZ-CM-1024).

• Minimises panel congestion and thickness when compared to drossbach ducts, which must be fully confined.

• Saves on project costs by utilising less materials and less labour time on site compared to drossbach ducts.  Save on lapping and confinement requirements, assembly labour, grout volume and grouting labour.

• Keeps the team safe through reducing on-site hazards caused by long protruding starter bars, allowing shorter embedment depths.

• Simplifies panel transport and storage by reducing starter bar lengths.
