SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION ADVANTAGES OF THE ADJUSTA JOINTLOCK SYSTEM

• The contractor has the certainty of providing a rigid rebar connection at the joint, without the risk of creep movement and strength reduction of re-straightened bars, or the possibility of incorrectly fitted screw-in connectors and shear cone concrete rupture with ferrule anchors.

• Significant time and labour savings can be achieved on typical flooring jump-form construction compared to alternate labour intensive connection systems.

• JointLOCK is used with a reusable rebate board for speed, low cost and ease of use for the formwork contractor. Note: The JointLOCK System shall not be installed using any other type of rebate former or system.

• Avoids the serious risk of back injury caused when re-straightening pull-out bar systems.

• No special training or skills are needed to install the JointLOCK System.

• Customised to suit your project design and construction requirements.

• Straight forward installation procedure reduces pour cycle times on fast-track high-rise projects.

• Engineered with matched load load bearing components providing the equivalent strength to carry 100% capacity of N16 reinforcement bar for axial tensile stress, flexural stress, bending moments and shear forces. Link to TDS401 JointLOCK Technical Data Sheet.

• Designed to eliminate the need for bending and re-straightening of starter bars, ensuring the bar strength is not reduced or connectivity compromised.

• Saves money by eliminating the need for metal boxes used with pullout bars.

• The JointLOCK System can be specified in any configuration of starter bar spacing and position at central or top and bottom of slab.

• The JointLOCK Connector is factory fitted by Adjusta with a development length of reinforcing bar for starter bar provisions in the interfacing concrete section.

• Surety of mechanical connection due to straightforward installation and ease of inspection for on-site quality control. 

• Ease of installation speeds up provision of wall anchorage and connection of starter bars.

• Standard and customised specifications and connection scheduling formats for construction use.

• Occupational Workplace Health and Safety benefits due to reduced risk of back injuries from the repetitive task of straightening bars or fitting bars to ferrule or chemical anchors.

• Certified for compliance to benchmark ASTM and ISO standards for mechanical splices A1034M.

• Used and approved by Australia’s premier construction companies, and proven in landmark high-rise towers.

• All JointLOCK System components are 100% Australian made.
