Concrete form tie sleeve?
Concrete form tie sleeve?
(OP)
I have a question regarding the attached pdf.
No one in our office has seen anything like these in a poured concrete foundation wall. The arrows point to what we are assuming are plastic sleeve for form ties.
Anyone know if our assumption is correct or have any information?
Thanks.

RE: Concrete form tie sleeve?
I believe your assumption is correct. The European (now more common in the US) style forming systems utilize a plastic sleeve over the threaded rod ties that are common with the systems. Common with the clamped-style forming systems. Google Doka or Meva and check out their wall systems.

It is a very common form tie method. Very common with the European style clamped forming systems. Also very common in my area for bride abutments.

Does your “bride” have nice abutments?

dhengr - I refuse to answer that question honestly. Funny how spell-check doesn't catch the wrong words with correct spelling, and that my mind sees the right words as I'm typing.
