CONNECTRIX CONNECTION BOXES
The Connectrix connection box system comprises of a galvanised steel casing which houses pre-bent bars. The unit is cast into the face of the vertical element (wall or blade column) and bars are straightened ready for lapping when the horizontal element is ready to be constructed after the vertical elements have been cast.
BENEFITS AND FEATURES
> Connection box system is a customised manufactured product designed and tailored to suit each project requirement and detailing. No wastage on site.
> Intense and detailed shop drawings is provided with Qty take-off and precise design.
> Accommodated variety of bar sizes, spacings, thickening and configurations. Can be made curved if required.
> Comply with anchorage and lap lengths design requirements. With careful design can provide substantial savings.
> Fully fabricated and assembled off-site in a factory controlled environment.
> Arrives to site with clear identification and marking, resulting in eliminating site installation mistakes.
> Fast and simple to install.
> Help fast track concrete pouring schedules therefore saving cost and time.
> Eliminate chipping or hacking works required to expose lap reinforcement bars.
> Eliminate/minimise the need for post drilling.
> Eliminate the use of polystyrene sheets that are required in the conventional use therefore considered clean and environmentally friendly.
> Design and installation of formwork is simplified.
> Cover and casting produced from certified pre-galvanised steel providing a rigid box.
> Improve site safety as lap bars are only exposed/bent when required.
> Joints can be made simple and easy to manage.
> Produces a rebate in the concrete which gives added shear resistance.

SAFETY
The starter bars are housed in the boxes until ready to be straightened. There are no protruding bars to minimise risk of injury and enhance working space. The rebate will eliminate the need for joint preparation and scabbling using mechanical tools which a time consuming exercise with health and safety hazards.
SUSTAINABILITY
Connectrix is committed to sustainability and responsibility in its entrepreneurial decisions. In addition to ethical obligations to which Connectrix is dedicated the conformity to regulations and obligations of material usage is of great importance to TURIIM.
​
The boxes are fabricated in an ISO certified Factory to ensure all rebar measurements and centres are
correctly maintained.
SPEED
The connection boxes are easy to use and quick to install. Formwork design can be made simple and complicated joints design mitigated and minimised.
The connection boxes allow cores and vertical to climb ahead thus enable the use of climbing formwork systems and speed up project construction.
QUALITY AND COMPLIANCE
REBARS
All rebars or rebar mesh when supplied by Concentrix are sourced from reliable manufacturers and suppliers back with all required certifications and conformities to confirm with the projects specifications they are issued to.
​
COIL
Coil used for connection boxes is galvanised, Grade ASTM A653.2015/CS and backed with all required certification.
​
COUPLERS
All couplers used in the boxes are in compliance with EN 10204-2.1 sourced from approved and certified manufacturers and backed by all
required certification.
COST
The connection boxes eliminate any requirement to drill or damage the formwork systems which increases its re-usability cycles. The system is easy to use and does not require skilled or specialist labourers. It simplifies formwork design and allows for larger concrete pours thus speed up works and increases productivity.
DETAILING
Services include provision of shop drawings for each level detailing the specific case and providing boxes customised sizes, types, positions,
marks, rebars and couplers details including quantities.
​
These details are later used for the production and sequenced deliveries.
APPLICATIONS
Many joints in different types of construction sites have the potential to be formed using the Connectrix Box System.
Typical joint application includes.
> Walls to floor slabs
> Floor slabs to slabs
> Wall to wall
> Stairs landings and corbels
> Precast slabs and tilt-up panels
> Cantilevered slabs and balconies
> Starter bars in slabs and footings for reinforced concrete walls
> Starter bars in slabs and footings for reinforced block walls
> Ramps, water tanks and stairway applications
