material. Thispractice is time consuming and
expensive.
A reinforcing cage can easily be assembled using
the "Kwickcage" by pushing the reinforcingmaterial
into the moulded clips. The "Kwickcages"
are spaced at a predetermined distance alongthe

into the trench. The moulded base of the "Kwickcage"
eliminates the need to chair the cage in the
footing. The
specially designed clips have been made to support
8, 11 and 12 mm reinforcing material.Trench
mesh can be used or the design allows for the
use of individual reinforcing bars. The"Kwickcage"
