Concrete Compaction is our Area of Expertise
The different concrete consistencies always present new challenges for every construction site and require special measures for compaction. These different properties of concrete can have a significant impact on the quality and durability of construction projects. For this reason, we have made it our mission to provide our customers with comprehensive information on the use of our innovative vibration solutions. In doing so, we place particular emphasis on the versatile properties and technological possibilities of concrete as a building material to ensure that our customers can achieve the best possible results.
Vibration technology for tunnel construction - Reference projects
External vibrators on the formwork are usually indispensable for concrete compaction in cut-and-cover tunnel construction, where the excavation only extends to the lower edge of the future tunnel ceiling, as well as in mining construction, where the tunnel is built underground.
In open tunnel construction, where the floor, walls and ceiling of the tunnel cross-section are constructed independently of each other, external vibrators are used in particular when concreting high walls or exposed concrete walls.
Vibration technology for bridge construction - reference projects
The inclined walls of box girder bridges are often compacted with external vibrators, as the lower wall areas are often difficult to reach with internal vibrators. In monolithic construction, external vibrators are also particularly helpful in the transition from the base to the wall in order to ensure that the structure is watertight.
It is generally advisable to compact the concrete with both internal and external vibrators in order to ensure optimum concrete compaction and the high quality of the final result.
Internal vibrators and external vibrators for building construction / industrial construction / hydraulic construction - Reference projects
Particular challenges in concrete compaction arise with very high walls, heavily reinforced walls, very thick single-sided walls or requirements for fair-faced concrete quality. It is therefore crucial to carefully coordinate the spreading dimensions, grain sizes, pouring heights and internal vibrators as well as external vibrators.
Compacting and Smoothening Concrete Floors
Vibratory screeds are very often used in the production of concrete floors. They transfer their vibrations to the concrete, thus smoothing and compacting it. We manufacture profile vibrating screeds individually for the required radii and lengths.
