Peikko introduced ARBOX® Plus
and ARBOX® Strong
Peikko expanded its ARBOX® range with
the addition of ARBOX® Plus and ARBOX®
Strong, which provide eff ective joint
reinforcement for higher loads.
New product ARBOX® Plus provides
a stronger rebar connection for concrete
structures. It is a rough surfaced, higher
resistance version of ARBOX® Joint
Reinforcement, Peikko’s smooth surfaced,
ready-to-install system for creating stiff
concrete casting joints of reinforced
concrete elements.
New ARBOX® Strong provides the
strongest rebar connection for concrete
structures in Peikko’s product portfolio.
It is an indented surfaced, highest
resistance version of ARBOX® Joint
Reinforcement, and is the best solution
in the most demanding applications
including major infrastructure projects.
Both new products are in the highest
resistance class with rough and indented
surfaces according to Eurocode EN
1992-1-1, Section 6.2.5. They enable high
longitudinal and transverse shear forces to
be transferred to the joint.
ARBOX® Joint Reinforcement effi ciently
connects reinforced concrete structures,
and it simplifi es formwork and joint design.
Installation is quick and straightforward,
and there is a wide range of options.
PETRA® Green Slab Hanger; a new step
towards environmentally friendly construction
After having launched DELTABEAM® Green
last year, we are now proud to introduce
the greenest slab hanger on the market –
PETRA® Green. It is produced with the same
sustainable methods as DELTABEAM® Green,
making it possible to reduce the carbon
footprint even more.
The EPD approved PETRA® Green has
a 43% smaller carbon footprint compared
to standard slab hangers. It is produced
using renewable energy, and together with
DELTABEAM® Green, they are transported in
a way that burdens the environment as little
as possible.
Since the production of PETRA® Green
was not yet started at the time this EPD
was granted, EPD has been calculated
based on its sibling product PETRA®. The
production impacts of PETRA® Green can be
considered as identical with PETRA®.
PETRA® Green is manufactured by
Peikko’s production facility in Finland and
available for Scandinavia. All PETRA® Green
Slab Hangers are also painted green.
PETRA® Green has the performance and
options of standard PETRA® models and is
fully confi gurable to fi t most of the hollow-
core slab layouts. PETRA® Slab Hangers
are used to support hollow-core slabs
and make openings and confi gurations
into hollow-core slab fl oors. It is a unique
technical solution that has all the benefi ts
of a standardized product, while being used
for applications that usually require careful
static analyses and tailor-made structural
solutions.
