CEME-TUBE pier forming tubes are fabricated from partially recycled HDPE plastic and are far superior in every aspect to conventional cardboard forming tubes. CEME-TUBE forms are impervious to all moisture and can be backfilled prior to pouring concrete. CEME-TUBE forms are available in 8 inch, 10 inch, 12 inch, 18 inch, 24 inch and 30 inch size diameters.
Engineering Note: The 8 inch diameter Ceme-Tube Bollard filled with concrete and 4 pieces of 3/4 inch diameter rebar is equal in strength to a 5 inch diameter schedule 40 steel pipe filled with concrete. The 12 inch diameter Ceme-Tube Bollard filled with concrete and 6 pieces of 3/4 inch diameter rebar is equal in strength to an 8 inch diameter schedule 40 steel pipe filled with concrete.. |
