All 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 moisture, before and after pouring. They eliminate all issues found with conventional cardboard forming tubes.
CEME-TUBE Standard model forms are available in 8, 10, 12, 18, 24, and 30 inch size diameters. All models are 4 foot in length, but have an integral collar on one end to allow stacking of Ceme-Tubes for longer lengths. The 8, 10, and 12 inch models are smooth and uniform in diameter. The 18, 24, and 30 inch models are Gen2 models and have integral reinforcement ribs to keep them structurally round for heavy backfill applications.
CEME-TUBE Bollard model forms are available in 8 inch only, and they are Safety Yellow in color. Each Bollard model comes with an 8 inch x 4 foot below grade section, an 8 inch x 4 foot Safety Yellow above grade section, a dome cap and hardware. After filling this assembly with concrete and rebar, the installation is complete and is maintenance free. 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. If more strength is required, simply add more rebar.
CEME-TUBE Light pole model is available in 18 inch, 24 inch and 30 inch diameters. 18 inch and 30 inch diameters are only available in Safety yellow, but the 24 inch diameter is available in Caution Yellow, Architectural Bronze, and Concrete Gray. All models are 4 feet in length. The 24 inch x 4' foot Standard black CEME-TUBE will connect to the Light pole model to provide deeper footings as necessary. All models have a collar on one end to facilitate stacking on another Ceme Tube for longer lengths as needed. The 18, 24, and 30 inch models are Gen2 models and have integral reinforcement ribs to keep them structurally round for heavy backfill applications.
