Concrete cover blocks Oman engineers specify hold reinforcement at the correct distance from the formwork, so the steel is properly covered once the concrete is poured. Al Yusr supplies concrete cover blocks from Muscat and our 8 branches for slabs, footings, beams, columns and walls.

Cover is the layer of concrete between the steel and the outer face. Too little cover lets moisture and chlorides reach the bar and cause corrosion, which is why specifications state minimum cover and inspectors check it before each pour.

• Slabs and footings (under mesh and bottom bars)
• Beams and columns
• Walls and retaining structures
• Raft foundations and pile caps

Choosing the right cover block

Read the cover requirement on your structural drawings, which depends on exposure and element, and order blocks to match. Use blocks with enough strength to carry the weight of fixers and mesh without crushing, and place them at the spacing your engineer specifies, typically closer under heavy mats and mesh.

Placing cover blocks correctly

Fix blocks to the bars with binding wire or use blocks with a tie groove, keep them clear of the formwork face and check cover before the pour. Never use broken bricks or timber offcuts, which can cause staining and weak points.

What to check before you order cover blocks

Count the area of slabs and the number of bars to be supported, apply your engineer’s spacing, and add a margin for losses. Confirm the cover sizes you need for each element, since a project often uses several. Tell us your pour programme so blocks arrive in time to fix before the inspection.

Order them with your reinforcement and binding wire so fixers have everything they need on the day steel arrives.
