What are corrugated metal sheaths used for?
Corrugated metal sheaths are used for various jobs, but the most common and standard ones are the following: for use in foundations to join columns to footings, for housing cables used in post-tensioning and for the creation of cavities or openings to allow for the passage of certain subsequent installations.
Characteristics of the corrugated metal sheath
Especially dsigned for connection with concrete, the sheath is a corrugated metal tube, either circular or rectangular. It is mainly used to join elements of prefabricated concrete.
In addition to guaranteeing adherence with concrete due to its undulated grooves or shapes, it is also an element that protects against corrosion, given that the sheath is manufactured out of galvanized strip. This treatment provides a second layer of protection for prefabricated elements that are exposed to moisture.
