Hold Down Bolts –
• Fix structural elements to concrete.
• These bolts, sometimes need to be adjusted, to fit the base plates of the steel structures

​

The BLOCKOUT, is used in the building, construction and mining industries where Hold Down Bolts are specified.

The Polystyrene method has many associated issues.

Polystyrene is -
• Environmentally unfriendly
• Time consuming (With huge man hours expended  setting up and digging out polystyrene. The crews are reluctant to undertake this task)
• Single use (An additional cost to the job)
• Tools required to assist removal (Everyone has tried everything to make this removal more convenient and time efficient. For example - vacuum cleaners, chisels, hammers, drills, steel rods (This adds further expense and potential safety  and environmental issues) (Storage and disposal of waste is another complication)

​

Who is going to benefit from the BLOCKOUT? – The Client, Mining and Construction Companies, Tradesman and Workers.
BLOCKOUT can be used in all construction activities that require Hold Down Bolt voids.

​

The BLOCKOUT can be manufactured for all bolt sizes.

I use local, and or, Queensland suppliers and manufacturers in the production of the BLOCKOUT

​

The BLOCKOUT is:

• Quick set up and removal time

• No tools required

• Efficient

• Reusable

• Cost effective

• Environmentally friendly

• Recyclable

The BLOCKOUT invention has eliminated the time-consuming task of digging out Polystyrene from Hold Down Bolts.
