Frequently asked questions
An engineered, steel reinforced concrete masonry system that is an alternative to cast-in-place reinforced concrete walls made with conventional formwork.
Only Ivany® Block gives your project high structural performance with costs well below those of reinforced concrete.
As the wall is erected, horizontal steel bars are placed into the pre-slotted crosswebs of the block. After the wall is built, vertical bars are placed into position. Because of the block’s special features, all steel is held in the exact position needed to meet engineering design and code requirements. The large, vertically aligned cores ensure an easy and complete fill with concrete.
Ivany®Block is ideal for any project being designed with poured concrete walls for foundations, basements and shear walls in high rises. It’s been used for 50+ years in schools, hotels, warehouses, offices, hospitals, correctional facilities, apartments, stores and more.
