Expamet Hy-Rib® has become synonymous with the construction of some of the world’s most prestigious new structures. From Heathrow’s Terminal 5 to the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, Hy-Rib® provides an engineered solution to the construction industry’s needs. Expamet is pleased to announce that Hy-Rib® is now available exclusively through SIG Construction Accessories.

Hy-Rib® was specifically developed by Expamet during the 1960’s for use as a permanent formwork for construction joints within concrete slabs, retaining walls and columns and has been successfully used in numerous building and infrastructure projects throughout the world as well as more recently as background for spray concrete and structural fire protection. By making Hy-Rib® available through SIG Construction Accessories, Expamet has expanded the products availability and accessibility nationwide.

As part of the Specialist Construction Products division of global distributor SIG, SIG Construction Accessories  has a network of specialist branches located strategically across the U.K, offering local support,

“We are absolutely delighted with the alliance” says Trading Director Roger Hall “SIG Construction Accessories has excellent coverage across the UK and a real understanding of our product. This level of technical expertise makes SIG Construction Accessories the perfect outlet for Hy-Rib’s distribution. With this support in place we are confident that Hy-Rib will perform even better in the market.”

It is the only product of its type with an enviable portfolio of technical data, and has been thoroughly tested by independent bodies to determine and verify its effectiveness in forming construction joints. The result is a product with well defined engineering properties, established formwork pressure characteristics and measured improvements to the joint’s performance.

Hy-Rib® is manufactured in the UK in three thickness grades of galvanized steel and where increased corrosion resistance is necessary, stainless steel. It’s supplied between 2m and 5m lengths, but to facilitate work in particularly ambitious projects, custom lengths can also be provided as well as narrow widths. In addition to this, Hy-Rib® can be pre curved under factory conditions to the user’s requirement.

Hy-Rib® is certificated for use as permanent formwork by the British Board of Agrément (BBA).
