I have no affiliation with these folks other than having been on their mailing
list for years after using some of their products when doing home construction.
I thought it might be of interest for tower installation.

| Smart Solutions for Reinforcement Alignment |
| Deep foundations and earth retention work require accurate alignment of rebar
and rebar cages for concrete reinforcement. That’s why Simpson Strong-Tie®
provides a range of field-tested solutions that structural engineers specify
for commercial, industrial, highway and bridge projects. Our Quick-Lock®
Pier-Wheel, Quick-Lock Pier-Boot® and Quick-Lock® Unibar® Centralizer attach in
seconds to rebar and rebar cages as they are lowered into a drilled shaft. Made
of durable, non-corrosive plastic, these components ensure accurate spacing
within the column for structural integrity and corrosion prevention after
concrete and grout are poured. |
|
|
| Quick-Lock® Pier Wheel |
| |
| Quick-Lock Pier Wheels are designed to properly position a reinforcing steel
cage in a drilled shaft with a concrete cover requirement. The wheels simply
snap over the horizontal hoops of the assembled rebar cage to maintain correct
spacing between the rebar and the drilled shaft. In addition, they prevent
rebar exposure to moisture after the concrete is poured. The wheels also work
for other applications where a concrete cover must be maintained. |
|
|
| Quick-Lock Pier Boot® |
| |
| Quick-Lock Pier Boots are designed to support a reinforcing steel cage or
single bar within a drilled shaft with a concrete cover requirement. The boots
are pushed onto the lower ends of vertical bars to prevent rebar exposure to
moisture at the bottom of the drilled shaft. Like the Pier Wheels, the Pier
Boots are typically placed on the assembled cage as it is being lowered into
the shaft. Applications include deep foundations, drilled shafts, augercast
piles and bridge columns. |
|
|
| Quick-Lock® Unibar® Centralizer |
| |
| Quick-Lock Unibar centralizers are designed for threaded-rod, rebar and
tendon alignment support. They keep the rod, bar or tendon centered in the bore
hole or forming tube to allow for required concrete coverage — without
interrupting the grout flow around the rebar. With two identical halves, these
Unibar centralizers can be snapped into place anywhere along the reinforcement.
Applications include soil stabilization jobs like embankments, tunnels, soil
nails, micropiles and tiebacks. Centralizers also can be used on other projects
where rebar orpipe require concrete coverage.
Rigorously tested and proven for reliability, these products are manufactured
in the USA to meet the highest quality standards. Like other solutions from
Simpson Strong-Tie, these rebar alignment and centralizer products are widely
available for jobsite delivery and backed by our expert service and technical
support. |
