In order to achieve proper design strength in any drilled and grouted hole the bar or tendon must be centered in the drilled hole to assure proper grout or concrete coverage throughout the design length of the element. Pieresearch®, a long-time industry leader in alignment/centralizer products for the deep foundations industry has developed a new, adjustable, centralizer for augercast pile, micropile, soil nail, and tieback installation. The ADJUSTABLE QUICK-LOCK® UNIBAR® CENTRALIZER is the answer to uniform spacing requirements across a wide range of diameters.
There are 3 different new parts to fit shafts ranging from an O.D. of 10″ to 24″. All 3 parts are adjustable to fit bar sizes #6 thru #18:
- Part No. 1011-6/18UBC => for shafts that are 10/11″ in diameter, fits bar sizes #6 thru #18
- Part No. 1415-6/18UBC => for shafts that are 14/15″ in diameter, fits bar sizes #6 thru #18

ADJUSTABLE QUICK-LOCK® UNIBAR® CENTRALIZERS are made of lightweight, durable, non-corrosive plastic and consist of two identical halves that are fast and easy to snap together.
