One (1) BauGrid^® replaces as many as thirty two (32) separate pieces of conventional hoops and cross-tie reinforcement.

One BauGrid^® with a thickness of 70% x 2 x 16 mm = 22 mm often replaces as many as five (5) layers of conventional reinforcement.

BauGrids^® are manufactured to a dimensional tolerance of ± 3 mm as compared to ± 13 mm for conventional reinforcement.

The dimensional accuracy of BauGrids^® permits automated fabrication of reinforcement cages for columns, beams and shearwalls.

The BauGrid^® manufacturing process has been developed to maintain quality assurance and performance superior to structural members reinforced with conventional hoops and crossties reinforcement.

Structural members reinforced with BauGrids^® have been tested in the research laboratories of five universities and two national laboratories.

In San Francisco, the world's tallest (39-story) precast concrete building in a region of highest seismicity is reinforced with BauGrids^®.

Two-story high wall reinforcement cages with BauGrids^® using BauSplicegrids™ are installed faster than conventionally reinforced cages.

Taller BauGrid^® column cages can be erected without guying because the BauGrids^® resist torsion.

Forms can be installed faster on BauGrid^® column cages because the cages are very rigid.

Concrete can be placed much faster into BauGrid^® cages because there are no hooks obstructing the flow of the concrete. BauGrid^® cages have much larger clearance than cages with many layers of conventional reinforcement; this allows the concrete to be placed much faster. Without hooks obstructing the passage of the vibrator, high quality concrete placement and compaction is easier to accomplish.

Concrete members reinforced with BauGrids^® exhibit ductile performance superior to members reinforced with conventional reinforcement, because the concrete is confined in each individual cell where all intersecting rods have a welded connection of the highest quality.
