Tapered Waxed Cones are used as void formers when setting foundation bolts in concrete. Placed over the bolt and plate washer before pouring concrete, they create a clearance space that allows precise alignment of steelwork during erection.
The waxed surface prevents concrete adhesion, and once the structure is correctly aligned, the void can be filled with non-shrink grout for a permanent, high-strength fix.
