Concrete rings for a well are in high demand in modern construction. Firstly, with the help of these materials, wells are being built in the private sector. For the construction of a private structure, the well rings must be made with the inclusion of reinforcement and, in view of the increased load on the walls, have good strength characteristics.
In addition, the products are used for the installation of various communication systems, for example, they build water, network, drainage, gas, sewer elements.
In the last rings of the well should have special grooves that allow you to firmly connect adjacent parts and avoid displacement. Also, with the help of reinforced concrete materials, tunnels are built for laying telephone lines, electrical and heating networks. Products are used to equip septic tanks - wastewater treatment plants.
There are severalring types. Concrete are marked by diameter, which is from 1 to 2 meters. The height of all products is standard - 90 cm. You can also find additional rings that have other sizes, for example, they produce products with a height of 50 and a diameter of 70 cm.
Reinforced concrete rings for wells, due to the inclusion of reinforcement, have increased strength characteristics and meet all requirements and standards.
The advantages of materials include durability, which is provided by the concrete and steel frame included in the product, high strength (reinforced concrete is resistant to compressive loads).
Well rings are characterized by water resistance, fast installation. It does not take much time or special skills to install them. Products are easy to repair and maintain. Their smooth surface is easier to clean than wood or brick, and it is much easier to replace the concrete ring in such wells. The advantage of the material is its low price, which makes the products affordable (for both organizations and individuals).
Concrete rings are mounted using crane technology, placing them in specially excavated technological niches. If the height of the ring is not enough to equip the well, an in-line installation is used. The materials are placed on top of each other, and the space formed between them is filled with concrete or Portland cement mortar.
For efficient operation, the well rings should be additionally waterproofed.
This will significantly extend the life of the structure. During installation, it is necessary to secure the rings with high quality in order to prevent their displacement. This allows you to make special holes into which steel staples are inserted, and then they are bent.
The most popular are materials that have a system of tongue-and-groove joints. This system consists of a simple design, which is easy to install and well prevents water from flowing outside the well. This is especially important for summer residents and gardeners, whose building is often located next to the garden.
