Blockaid is an Australian designed alignment bracket for use in masonry block wall construction to provide accurate location of both the horizontal and vertical reinforcing steel to ensure the steel placement complies to the engineering specification.
The Horizontal Steel is accurately positioned by Blockaid during construction |
The Vertical Steel is accurately positioned by Blockaid after the blocks are laid |
Advantages of Blockaid in reinforced block walls
- Accurate positioning of reinforcement
- Eliminates tying steel in place
- Saving in construction time
- Ensures adequate grout cover
- Aligns control joint dowels
- Ensures structural capacity
- Ensures construction meets engineering specification
for centrally or non-centrally located reinforcing

surveyed support the use of Block Aid’

‘Time and Motion Study carried out by University
of Newcastle finds that Blockaid can save over 20% of the
construction time required compared with traditional methods’

BLOCKAIDS IN PLACE TO
LOCATE HORIZONTAL
AND VERTICAL STEEL
The Blockaid range provides for precision in determining reinforcing locations of the steel bar and ensures the construction of a reinforced concrete block wall using masonry or besser blocks will always meet the Australian Standard. Blockaid is not suited to mortarless or hebel blocks.
