Formwork Design
SureBuilt has a team of engineers specializing in the creation of drawings and layout plans for any project using a SureBuilt concrete forming system. The engineering team draws up plans to suit your job-specific requirements. This enhances your productivity when using SureBuilt forming systems and helps you accomplish project goals.
SureBuilt concrete forming systems include:
- SurePly™ (Typical handset system for vertical concrete)
- SureCore™ (Self-riser forming system for high-rise construction)
- SureCurve™ RC (Radius system for curved walls and round tanks)
Tilt-Up Panel Design
In response to an increasing demand for tilt-up products in recent years, SureBuilt has added tilt-up panel engineering services. Our tilt-up engineering department is headquartered at the SureBuilt facility in Tampa.
Tilt-Up Engineering Services include:
- Panel lifting and bracing layouts
- Rebar detailing (or other reinforcement steel)
- Shop drawings
- Architectural drawings
Stud Rail Design (DSA Shear Reinforcement)
The SureBuilt Engineering Team also provides take-offs and shop drawings for Stud Rail DSA Reinforcement, typically used in slab-to-column and floor connections to resist punching shear in the slab. Stud Rail DSA Reinforcement distribute concentrated loads throughout a concrete slab and create larger shear areas around the columns where they are placed.
Staybox Design (Rebar-Dowel Bar Key Way)
This two-piece system is a pre-engineered and pre-assembled rebar keyway assembly that simplifies forming at wall and deck intersections. Staybox is made in two halves from plain steel or galvanized sheet metal per customer requirement. SureBuilt can fabricate the rebar in almost any shape required.
