Rapid Tie System is a ‘through’ tie system in which the bar passes entirely through the formwork, waler plates, cone & tube assembly, locked in position with the knock-on wing nut threaded on to each end of the tie bar.

　　The expendable tube not only acts as a spacer ensuring the correct width of wall required, but allows easy removal of the tie bar after pouring. Only oneknock-on wing nut has to be removed to allow quick stripping of the tie assembly.
