Tiebar holders as welded and canted support cages made of wire rod S 235 (diameter Ø 5 mm) are used to ensure tie bars in a longitudinal contraction joint keep their required position during construction. A narrow support cage only is required here.

This version is used to keep the threaded tie bar coupling (half threaded tie bar) in position in a longitudinal compression joint.

Individual support is advisable if the threaded tie bar spacings are irregular or very large.

The following details are needed for costing and production:

• Joint type (contraction or compression joint)
• Pavement thickness (height of the concrete)
• Tiebar spacing
• Holder length; whereby the maximum production length is 4.0 m; 2 - piece tie bar holders are made for larger working widths.
