CBF provides the contractor with a rapid and cost effective method of constructing on-site concrete ground beams and pile caps. Manufactured from heavy duty polypropylene in 8mm and 10mm thickness, the system has many advantages over traditional timber or steel pan construction. These include the following benefits:

 •  can be bent to form any ground beam detail
 •  requires less excavation than traditional shuttering
 •  light but rigid so easily handled
 •  can arrive on site tailor made ready for installation
 •  supplied and delivered flat pack so requires minimal storage space
 •  reduces over dig and spoil cartage
 •  easily installed using only a sharp knife and assembled by unskilled labour
 •  can be cut to exact dimensions to ensure that perfect cover is maintained
 •  minimises concrete wastage
 •  no shutter stripping, cleaning or release agents are needed
 •  easily adapted to suit variations on site, such as pipes, cables and other services.
