Meadow Burke - Burke Lockable Dowel

  • Sale


Revolutionizing Post Tensioned Concrete

Keeping with the promise of efficiency, safety and affordability, the Burke Lockable Dowel is an effective alternative to using the traditional pour strip construction method when pouring post-tension slabs. The Burke Lockable Dowel is a sheer load connector consisting of a dowel, sleeve and locking components designed for use at temporary movement joints (pour strips) found in post-tensioned concrete frames. The use of the Burke Lockable Dowel system virtually eliminates pour strips in slabs and allows for temporary movement while permitting the project team to continue normal operations.

  • No pour strips

  • Eliminates more than 30 days from construction schedules

  • Dramatically improves on-site safe work conditions

  • Significant labor and material cost savings

Anyone that knows what pour strips ultimately cost your project will use this system. It’s so simple. Take the next step. Change is hard, but choosing the Burke Lockable Dowel can, and will, take you to the next level of success.
