Introduction

Research in the 1960s revealed that the construction industry needed an improved fixing system. Thus, the CINTEC Designed Anchor System was developed which meets the following objectives:

  1. EASILY FIXED, EVEN IN WEAK SUBSTRATES.
  2. EASILY USED IN POOR QUALITY MATERIALS AND IN BRIDGING CAVITIES.
  3. SYMPATHETIC WITH EXISTING STRUCTURES - CEMENTITIOUS BASED.
  4. VERSATILE.
  5. EASILY DESIGNED FOR DIFFERING APPLICATIONS BY DESIGNERS.
  6. PERMANENT.
  7. CAPABLE OF RAPID MANUFACTURE.

The technical embodiment is simple in that the main steel body of the anchor is completely surrounded by a fabric sock. The anchor is then located in an oversized drill hole joining the materials to be anchored together. Fluid grout is then injected under pressure through the middle of the anchor, until it reaches the remote end. There, it passes through a series of grout flood holes into the fabric sock. The entire assembly inflates like a balloon under the pressure. The excess milk of the grout and bonding agent passes through the fabric sock, both fixing and providing a mechanical and chemical bond to the parent material. Variation in the size and shape of the individual components enable the basic method to be extended to meet the designer's requirements.

The fixing illustrations shown in this brochure are standard applications.

The basic principle of the fixing permits the designer to create easily individual fixings to meet the particular requirements.
