Concrete semiring: product features

Concrete semiring is most often used to protect communications, and it is also often used to create roads, tunnels and even subways. Such products have much thicker walls than conventional concrete rings. This is necessary in order to provide good resistance to increased loads.

Features of creating concrete half rings

Such devices can have various sizes (either standard or individual — often concrete half rings are made to order). They are made from the following materials:
• cement;
• gravel;
• sand;
• water.
Such half-rings are made quite simply: strong reinforcement is placed in a special form, and then high-quality concrete is poured into the container.

The main functions of concrete semi-rings

Concrete half rings are excellent helpers in order to fix and protect pipes on a certain surface. This makes all subsequent installations much simpler and also simplifies further maintenance of communications. Semi-rings made of reinforced concrete are very often used in the laying of both gas and water pipelines.

The nuances of the installation of concrete half rings

Before you install half rings, you need to think carefully. In this case, one should take into account where the communications pass, as well as how far such concrete products will be from various buildings.

After you manage to buy concrete half-rings, also think about making it convenient for special equipment to get to the place of work. When installing purchased products, you should pay increased attention to how correctly and evenly they are installed. This must be done with a level. In this case, do not forget that you can not deviate from the vertical.

Pros and cons of concrete half rings

Such products have many advantages:
• environmental friendliness;
• ability to withstand heavy loads;
• resistance to frost and moisture;
• simple installation process;
• long term of use;
• acceptable cost.

Among the disadvantages of concrete half-rings, only the large weight of the products can be noted, which is why they will need to use a crane to move them.

What else is important to consider?

Each purchased product must have a quality certificate indicating the characteristics of the material. Such a document for a concrete half-ring can be requested directly from the seller.
