| When constructing concrete buildings, the pour strip method is a popular way to install large concrete slabs. This process involves three segmental pours, leaving a large separation between halves in order to account for concrete shrinkage. The remaining section is then filled in to complete the pour. With the growing need for speed and quality of concrete construction, the traditional pour strip method has become time-consuming and cumbersome. At nVent LENTON, we pride ourselves on our relentless pursuit of intuitive rebar splicing solutions designed to help solve your challenges. It is with this mindset that we created the nVent LENTON Interlok Pour Strip Replacement Method. |
