Ties

A form tie would seem to be a product that is easily fashioned by most any job shop. Yet each form tie is required to contain tremendous concrete pressure. Just one bad tie, whether weakened by substandard raw material or a fractured weld, can result in a costly or dangerous situation.

Ties are specially designed for use with the Modular Forming System and are subject to extensive quality control testing. This testing includes raw material performance; length and loop tolerance; testing strength measurement; coating and packaging inspection. Each tie is a dependable component in the formwork layout.

WACO offers the most complete selection of standard and heavy duty tie designs for the Modular Forming System. These different designs allow for proper tie selection for each forming application.

All ties are manufactured under strict quality control and have known load ratings. These load ratings are used to determine the necessary safety factor and all formwork layouts should be designed with the appropriate safety factor in mind.
