PNA Diamond Dowel System
Achieve superior load transfer with the original tapered plate dowel system. Since 1996, contractors and engineers have used the Diamond Dowel system in more than 1 billion square feet of placed concrete to deliver the durable, maintenance-free concrete flatwork customers expect.
The Diamond Dowel System, helps you:
- Collect your retainage
- Reduce your callbacks and save labor
- Optimize the amount of steel in a project
- Limit your liability by using the latest ACI 302.1R & ACI 360R-06 guidelines
- Deliver cost-effective slabs-on-ground
Faster, Easier Installation
- The Diamond Dowel installation template and the tapered plate guarantee the fastest and most perfectly aligned plate dowel installation
- Eliminates drilling forms, greasing/spinning dowels and removing/reinstalling dowels
- Allows for easy stripping of forms
- Ensures positive load transfer and eliminates cracking from restraint with reliable dowel alignment
- Reduces job-site trip hazards
- Reduces labor costs by at least 50 percent when compared to round dowel installation
- The Diamond Dowel System allows use of locally available wood forms, reducing shipping costs
- Diamond Dowel plates can be spaced farther apart than conventional dowels. thus you achieve superior load transfer at the construction joint with less steel.
