Void former for forming a viod in cast concrete

摘要

Disclosed is a void former particularly for use with a lifting anchor cast into a concrete component. It is of two piece construction, comprising a flexible element and a separate body which is substantially rigid. The flexible element is engage able with the head of the lifting anchor and is maintained in position by the rigid body which also acts to maintain the shape of the void during casting. After casting the rigid body is removed from the flexible element to thereby permit the flexible element to be disengaged from the lifting anchor by manipulation. The void former is thereby removable after casting without destruction of the void former and is thereby suitable for repeated use.
