New DELTABEAM® Gerber connection for continuous beams to make site work faster and easier

For us at Peikko the feedback from our customers is always taken seriously. It is the driving engine of our R&D and continuous innovations, helping us to make our customers’ work faster, safer and more efficient.

One of the more recent customer feedback cases that changed the game involved the Gerber connection used to connect continuous DELTABEAM®s. The assembly and concreting could have been even smoother, so why not improve it until everyone is satisfied? As of today, the renewed Gerber connection makes the ring rebar assembly easier and concreting smoother. Both the end plate and the bearing block have been modified.

1.     Assembly of ring rebars is now simple, as the gap between the hollow-core slab and the DELTABEAM® is bigger in the Gerber area. The ring rebars pass the Gerber connection without collision to the Gerber end plate and/or the hollow-core slabs.

2.     Concrete cast inside the beam runs from the rectangular openings into the Gerber connection between two beams.

Seemingly small things lead to a higher level of satisfaction – the world needs forerunners.
