Terwa Column Centralizers represent an optimal solution for concrete columns fastening, facilitating the installation on site, saving time and ensuring a correct position of the concrete columns in foundation. The system consist in two spherical connectors made from sheet steel, with a radius of 30,5 mm. The two connectors are embedded in the column and in the foundation block, ensuring a joint between the two elements. For this reason, we recommend ordering these connectors in pairs.
The connectors have four bended corners, special designed for good embedment in concrete. The design ensures a good position in the concrete element and an easy installation. The fixing connectors are used exclusively for centering and aligning the precast columns on the site, during the installation process.
The prefabricated foundation blocks are installed on site. On the bottom of the cavity, in the middle, is placed enough mortar in which the Foundation Connector is embedded. Make sure the exterior spherical surface remains clean. After the mortar is hardened around the Foundation Connector, the column can be installed. The foundation blocks aligned and installed on site, with the Foundation Connector embeded, can now be used. The columns are lowered in the foundation block cavity. The connectors permit the column to pivotate keeping a fix contact point.
Be aware to keep the column fixed in the crane cable until the column is fixed!
