The ability of reinforced concrete to take up virtually any shape that the architect can visualise is probably the single most important characteristic that has made it the dominant construction material of the modern age. The flip side of this flexibility is the high dynamic and static loads that concrete generates during pouring and curing, and the need for material intensive forming systems to resist them.
Reid™ Spartan™ Rubber Base Inserts provide a seal between the sideform and casting bed to help prevent concrete bleed. They reduce the need for silicone sealing, helping improve setup efficiency and clean up in precast production.
