Concrete Reinforcement
Welded Wire
Fabric (WWF) as Concrete Reinforcement is by far the most potential and
most efficient application.
The welds in plain cold-worked wires contribute to the bonding and
anchorage values in concrete. The manufacturing process helps to
facilitate on-site installation and off-site fabrication, yielding
higher productivity, better quality buildings; and safer, neater and
conducive job-site conditions.
| In and environment
of increased site-labour cost, VWM fabric provides developers,
designers, engineers and contractors a convenient and economical
steel reinforcement for concrete structures. |

Benefits
:
Increased cost savings through higher
productivity
VWM fabric is a prefabricated steel product which
replaces traditional steel cutting and fixing. This
shortens the duration of a project at the work site
significantly, and also helps reduce dependence on
unskilled labour.
Reduced steel wastage
VWM fabric is produced from coils,
hence producing
less steel scrap, when compared with mild steel and tempcore bars.
Quality steel fixing
The spacing of the steel wires is uniformly controlled, eliminating human error in manual steel fixing.
Improved work safety
There is no cutting and bending of bars on site.
Hence, the delivered welded fabric can be neatly
stacked in a small area near the structures in progress.
Simplicity
Design and work drawings are quickly and easily
prepared. |

Welded Steel
Fabric is widely used for the following applications :
Building, Paving, Concrete Pipes, Precast Components |
Building Construction
Welded Steel Fabric is used
successfully and economically in practically every form of reinforcement
concrete construction in buildings such as footing, slabs, walls,
staircases, refuse chutes, beams, stirrup cages and columns.
VWM fabric is adaptable for use for all types of building designs,
including office buildings, schools, hospitals, industrial and
commercial buildings, airport buildings, apartments and other
residential buildings.

|
Paving
 |
Concrete pavements are
exposed directly to atmospheric
conditions, expanding and contracting with every change of
temperature or moisture condition.
In factory shed flooring and concrete pavements / roads
weight of the slab itself, and the tendency of the ground to
grip the concrete under surface, creates resistance to
expansion or contraction tends to produce relieving cracks
in the concrete slab. Welded Steel Fabric holds cracked
sections tightly, permitting the transfer of load, maintaining
evenness of surface, and safeguarding the strength and life
of the pavement. |
Concrete Pipes
VWM fabric is a standard
reinforcing material used in the manufacture of concrete pipes. Welded
steel fabric is used because of its high strength and ability to
withstand heavy concentrated loads. Its long life and low coefficient of
roughness permits the use of minimum size of conduit laid on flat
gradient without loss of velocity.
Fabric for Coating by Guniting / Re-plastering. As a bonding
fabric during guniting ( Spraying of thick Cement-stand slurry with
compressed Air ) and re-plastring required for repairs and
rehabilitation of structures. Guniting is also extensively used for
coating of pipelines, to significantly enhance their life against
corrosion. |
|
Precast Components
 |
The quality of
construction work has improved significantly with the use of precast components.
Today, Welded Steel Fabric is widely used in precast components
ranging from architectural facades, parapet walls, lightweight
partition panels, sun shades, staircases, refuse chutes, planks ( slabs ) to
water tanks, secondary roofing, U-drains and box culverts, etc. |
