For the forming of monolithic concrete up-stands in slabs
The Kicker Bracket is a versatile tool designed for use in various construction applications, including single and double-sided walls in swimming pools, basement walls, manholes, retaining walls, biomass tanks, and reservoirs. It can also facilitate the erection of columns with ease. Its primary function is to securely hold and suspend timber planks above reinforced steel bars during concrete pours. This design aligns with the standards set by BS8102:2009, which recommend avoiding non-integral kickers during construction due to their need for multiple water bar stops at slab joints and wall intersections.
The Kicker Bracket features a mild steel brace that securely locks into position, holding a 5mm steel wire chair, ensuring precise and high-quality concrete up-stands for vertical forming. This not only improves the quality of the construction but also reduces the need for excessive materials and labor. Furthermore, its lightweight and easy installation make it suitable even for challenging site conditions.
