Sonotube TubeBase® Footing Forms Advantages
• Cost & time efficient prefabricated plastic footing form used in lieu of
conventional wood forming method.
• Superior structural stability provided through a continuous and consistent
concrete pour.
• Simultaneous forming of concrete footings and column.
• The design of TubeBase minimizes the potential of the form moving
during the concrete pour.
• TubeBase easily facilitates the use of rebar through our unique corner
perforations to tie the rebar, providing for additional structural integrity.
(Use of rebar should be designed and approved by a qualified engineer.)
• Square design provides a larger base area coverage and structural stability
for the footing and column.
• TubeBase square design alleviates the potential of tipping during
placement.
• TubeBase square design decreases the potential of uplift of form due to
existence of frost.
• Conforms to all 8”, 10”, 12”, 14”, 16” and 18” Sonotube concrete forms.
• TubeBase square design allows for additional soil bearing capacity.
• TubeBase wedge system accommodates all types of Sonotube
Concrete forms.
• TubeBase protects the footing from the intrusion of water thereby increasing
the quality of the footing.
• Made from 100% recycled plastic.
• U.S. Patent #4,673,157 (footing form).
• U.S. Patent #4,767,241 (Method for simultaneous forming of concrete footings
