Cellcore HX B
BBA Agrément Certificate
Certificate type
Collapsible void former for use under reinforced concrete ground beams and pile caps. The product has a number of variables including panel width, depth and loading characteristics.
Designed for use beneath reinforced concrete ground beams and pile caps to protect against the potential effects of ground heave.
Comprising a cellular construction of moulded expanded polystyrene combined with a robust polypropylene board, which has been designed and tested to tight tolerances to achieve the specified performance characteristics. It is available in a variety of depths and grades to suit the most commonly encountered combinations of soil heave potential and concrete depths.
Features and benefits:
- Reduces the upward force transmitted to the structure.
- Wide range of depths and grades to suit most applications.
- Meets the NHBC Technical Standards.
- Consistent performance supported by extensive testing.
- Available with integral EPS insulation, permanent formwork for ground beams or voids for ventilation of ground gases by request.
Application:
Designed for use beneath reinforced concrete ground beams and pile caps to protect against the potential effects of ground heave.
