Void Tubes

FEATURES:

  • High quality light gauge lock seam duct made by Spiro machinery
  • Embedded as void former to reduce the concrete cross-sectional area
  • Reduces weight of the structure by around 40%
  • Beneficial effects on foundation, frameworks and floor enforcement
  • Investment made to obtain the larger-diameter tube is covered by savings in concrete

ADVANTAGES:

  • Lightweight, machine-made uniformity in length
  • Increased tube strength through 4 ply reinforcing lock seam
  • 50% saving in material thickness over conventional fabrication methods
  • Corrugation increases the rigidity of the tube to approximately 300%
  • Fewer joints and savings in site labour and material
  • Perfectly smooth interior for non-turbulent flow
  • No welded, soldered or riveted seams to distort material or surface

APPLICATIONS:

  • High/low velocity air-conditioning
  • Mine ventilation
  • Marine and general ventilation
  • Warm air and heating
  • Forced draft chimneys
  • Sound absorbers
  • Perimeter heating systems
  • Fume and dust removal
  • Double skin vent pipe conveyor systems
  • Down spouting
  • SWR pipes
  • Wall casings
  • Protection for electric cables
  • Void in concrete
  • Piling sheaths for concrete piles
  • Drums & containers
