Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

Design diversity with traffic and pedestrian areas has gained rapidly in momentum in the last few years. Now, alongside natural stone look- alike surfaces, a trend towards large-format paving stones and slabs with edge lengths up to 1,250 mm has been observed especially in Germany and other parts of Europe, but also increasingly in North America. During the past two years, Kobra Formen GmbH has been work- ing on the development of the Boltline 3TM System. At bauma 2013 in Munich, this technology will be presented as a mature, marketable product to be reckoned amongst the new standards in industry. More than 500 moulds of this type are being successfully put to use at the current time. This new system makes high product-related dimensional accuracy feasible, thus ensuring the success story of large-format paver systems in all markets of the world. The growth in market share of concrete products from this family underscores the necessity of the Boltline 3TM mould technology.
