Fletcher Reinforcing are proud to supply Max Frank Pecafil Stay-In-Place Formwork – ideal for strip foundations, ground beams, circular or complicated formwork, and pile caps, alongside their huge range of reinforcing products. The Max Frank Formwork range speeds up construction, improves your build quality, and saves you money.

Max Frank Concrete Block & Bar Spacers are used to ensure that the specified cover to the reinforcement in concrete structures and structural elements is maintained both before and during concreting. They are also used to ensure that the specified cover for concrete structures and structural elements is maintained, both before and during concreting.

Max Frank Pecafil Stay-In-Place Formwork system speeds up construction, improves build quality, reduces the need for skilled labour and saves you money, and is available exclusively in New Zealand at Fletcher Reinforcing. The specially manufactured material is constructed from a steel mesh in a wide range of sheet and strip sizes and shaped to meet the application. Its distinctive yellow outer layer is heat-shrunk puncture resistant polyethylene, made from non-toxic, naturally occurring hydrocarbons.

Similarly on offer, Max Frank’s Stremaform Stay-In-Place construction joint system speeds up construction, improves build quality, reduces the need for skilled labour and saves you money. The Stremaform Construction Joint Formwork Systems consists of a special expanded metal mesh which replaces the traditional formwork. It stays in the concrete and eliminates any need for formwork removal or scabbling of the surface prior to the second pour. Tests carried out by the Technical University of Brunswick show that the resistance of these construction joints to shear forces is identical to that for monolithic concrete.

To speed up the construction of the new “cut and cover” trench slab, on the Memorial Park Alliance building site, the engineers looked to Stremaform for their construction joints. The product’s performance allowed a higher speed of concrete pour than traditional methods.

The product offers the versatility to be supplied pre-fabricated ex-Germany in a full range of heights and configurations (with or without water stop holder), or as flat sheets ex-stock in New Zealand.
