High-Performance HI-Rib Solutions for Construction in Saudi Arabia

HI-Rib is a high-profile, hot-dipped galvanized steel mesh used as a permanent, leave-in-place formwork. It is specifically designed for creating high-quality construction joints and stop-ends in concrete pouring.

Unlike timber, HI-Rib does not need to be removed after pouring. Its unique mesh structure forms a rough texture that bonds perfectly with subsequent concrete runs, entirely eliminating costly scabbling.

Yes, it is widely utilized in high-rise basements, retaining walls, tunnels, and water retaining structures where traditional formwork removal is difficult or where an ultra-secure joint is structurally required.

Absolutely. The mesh allows trapped air and excess water to escape easily during concrete vibration, which minimizes the occurrence of honeycombing and guarantees a denser, more uniform concrete structure.

Sheets should be stored flat on a level surface elevated off the ground by timber supports. Keep them covered with a weatherproof tarp to prevent moisture accumulation and pre-installation oxidation.

Yes, all our HI-Rib permanent formworks are manufactured from premium galvanized steel grades that satisfy the Saudi Building Code (SBC) and international civil engineering specifications.
