• The Edge Rib is Designed to nest tightly with the Edge Rib of an adjacent Hy Rib Sheet This
  Forms a tight Sheet to Sheet Connection Throughout its length and maximizes the rigidity of the
  sheet joint in temporary works condition.
• Hy Rib’s Tangs are Designed to become embedded in the first phase concrete pour, anchoring the
  sheet, preventing any risk of sheet de-bonding from the concrete.
• The Intermediate Ribs in Hy Rib provide inherent Stiffness in the Length of the sheet so that it can
  span between the supports. It also provides the Key to the concrete.
• Open Mesh allows bleed water to escape thus providing a dense, impenetrable concrete zone at the
  surface and immediate behind the Hy Rib.

It is much effective to reduce the concrete pressure on the formwork face compared to an
impervious material such as plywood. Researches have proved that joints using Hy Rib are 25%
more Stronger than scrabbled ones. Moreover Hy Rib prove to be much beneficial when time comes
out as an important asset on construction site now Days.

• Hy-Rib reduces significantly the pore water pressure in the design concrete pressure
  normally associated with conventional stop end materials of timber, plywood or steel.
• Hy-Rib is left in place and forms an ideal surface for subsequent concrete. This means that
  scabbling of the face is not necessary.
• Minimises joint preparation so that reinforcement fixing continues uninterrupted. The only
  striking required might be the timber cover strips, and any timber supports used as backing.
• Can either be placed before or after the reinforcement is fixed. If before, the reinforcement is
  then installed through holes pierced in the mesh; if afterwards, it is readily cut to
  accommodate the position of the bars.
• Allow the progress of the pour to be visually monitored, thus reducing the risk of voids and
  honeycombing.
• To obtain maximum economic advantage, Hy-rib is best supported by existing or extra
  reinforcement bars. This allows the whole fabrication to be left in place, eliminating most
  striking operations for the joint- particularly useful in congested areas of reinforcement.
• In the unlikely event of a large concrete pour being interrupted or delayed, such as by bad
  weather or interruption of concrete supply, Hy-Rib is the IDEAL material as a standby to
  form any shape of contingency stop end. Its benefit being that construction can quickly be
  resumed, without striking the temporary stop end. As a contingency, clients can specify Hy-
  Rib be made available on site prior to commencing large pours, in the knowledge that unplanned
  stop ends can quickly be constructed.
• Hy-Rib with the concrete creates an idea bonding surface for the subsequent pours.

Other than the available Grades, HyRIb is also manufactured as per specified requirements.
