Invisible Connections at Construct Day and Awards 2022

Over 500 guests and 30 exhibitors from the concrete construction industry attended the event, affording plenty of opportunities to catch up with familiar faces and connect with new ones. CONSTRUCT represents circa 80% of UK concrete frame contractors and is dedicated to improving the safety and efficiency of building in situ concrete frames and associated structures.

Improving cost efficiencies, health and safety and more sustainable construction

Our team were on hand to demonstrate how our innovative telescopic connectors invisibly support beams, columns and stair landings; providing a simpler, more cost-effective and aesthetic alternative to traditional concrete connection methods. Attendees were also interested in hearing how FERBOX bespoke reinforcement continuity system satisfies design requirements, saves costly wastage and mitigates health and safety risks.

Introducing our new generation of telescopic connectors

This year, Invisible Connections showcased our new generation of telescopic connectors: the TSS and RVK 60P. Our new ‘slim design’ 60P connectors with HDPE outers can enable thinner landings and stair thicknesses, which means less concrete and less CO2. What’s more, we’re passing on cost savings for alternative raw materials and leaner manufacture, which means a better deal for the environment as well as for our customers.
