A reusable inwardly collapsible void former
A re-useable void former for forming voids in concrete structures adapted to be positioned in wet concrete being of a flexible and elastic material to allow the void former to pucker inwardly when unsupported; a retainer adapted to support and maintain the outer shape as the concrete sets; a remover adapted to engage the void former on withdrawing the retainer wherein the unsupported void former is able to pucker and be pulled from the void thus formed for reuse. A method of use of the invention.
