What Is Thirty-Two™?
Thirty-Two™ block derives its name from its configuration. The material consists of a 32-inch-long concrete block unit with a center score (groove) that provides the appearance of two 16-inch units. This unique design enables workers to lay the equivalent of two 16-inch units simultaneously, which can save substantial installation time.
Along with saving time, using Thirty-Two units can provide many additional benefits:
- Increased design flexibility: These versatile blocks are compatible with most reinforced concrete block systems and cavity walls.
- Enhanced project management capabilities: Implementing these blocks can contribute to more effective project planning and execution for improved results.
- Long-lasting durability: Concrete blocks hold up well in all types of weather and environmental conditions. They also provide excellent insulation and are easy to maintain.
- Increased safety and ease of use: Using the optional MULE™ hoist system minimizes the strain on workers and reduces the risk of accidents and injuries.
Thirty-Two™ Specifications and Features
Thirty-Two block is palletized for more efficient and practical shipping, handling and storage. The typical pallet configuration is a combination of double-pier-end and one-pier-end/one-sash-end units with a 3/8-inch score centered on each face. A masonry hoist system can efficiently transport the concrete blocks.
Uses for Thirty-Two™
These blocks are often the best choice for large construction applications. They provide an efficient solution for load-bearing walls because they reduce the total number of blocks required and minimize mortar joints. Their larger mass also provides additional stability against lateral earth pressures when constructing retaining walls, and their uniform shape facilitates more precise stacking.
The larger dimensions and interlocking capabilities make this block type an excellent choice for various agricultural and industrial building projects. Examples include segregation bays, storage bins and partitions.
