BauGrid® WRG™ Advantages

The Problems

The Solution

The Assurance

• Reliable ductility (Toughness)
• Hoops with poor dimensional tolerances
• Installing rebar hooks is labor intensive
• Placing concrete around hooks is very difficult and time consuming
• Rebar hooks can be unreliable

• Welded grids using high strength wire
• Fabricated in a welding fixture to 1/8" tolerance
• Shipped in compact bundles
• Labor saving instillation into cage rebar
• More accurate positioning
• Gives more consistent confinement the full length of the member
• Saves crane time and erection labor
• Greater ductility = Less force = Less rebar
• More reliable ductility = Safer buildings

• Precision fabricated
• In plant, on-line testing
• Proprietary welding techniques
• Cross-wire confinement at each rebar
• More reliable confinement
• Improved ductility
