Geogrid

SIG Geotechnical Secugrid®

Secugrid® geogrids: Uniaxial, Biaxial and Large ApertureReinforcement Grids.

Secugrid® geogrids are flat geogrids made from interlaced extrudedpolymer bars. They can be produced in both uniaxial and biaxialorientations, and formulated from either Polyester or Polypropylene resins.

The high strength monolithic welded junctions provide soil reinforcement for all civilengineering applications, including environmental, infrastructure and marine engineeringprojects.

Secugrid® geogrids provide tensile reinforcement for base courses in railways and highwayfoundation engineering, steep sided soil embankments and retaining walls. They are alsoused for foundation reinforcement of earth embankments, load transfer of overlying soilmasses, for spanning voids and sink holes, for sludge lagoon closures, trench covers andbeds.

Large aperture grids are designed for use where the available fill has a particle size greaterthan 75mm. The larger aperture is necessary to maintain the required interlocking effectbetween the aggregate and the geogrid.

Triple twist woven mesh gabionsThey are designed on the principle of mass earth retaining wall.The strength and flexibility of the triple twisted mesh helpswithstand and absorb the forces generated by retained earth orflowing water. Gabions are rectangular boxes which are formedfrom panels of ‘triple twisted’ mesh which are framed by thickerselvedge wires. End panels and internal diaphragms at 1.0mcentres are then wired to the base of the gabion. The triple twistweaving of the wire prevents unravelling.

Constructed from wire manufactured to comply with BS1052:1996 and self edged withthicker wire. Wire is galvanised in accordance with BS 443:1990, with minimum thicknesscomplying with the requirements of table 4 of BS 443. Life expectancy of PVC-U coatedmesh in dry land retaining walls is considered to be 120 years.

TiefillFor the filling of tie-holes formed by formworkbolts in new construction, particularly where arapid setting, durable, waterproof mortar isrequired. Tiefill is a single component, polymermodified, fibre reinforced, Portland cement basedrepair compound, which exhibits unique hydraulicproperties to produce a rapid curing mortar withenhanced polymer properties. It only requires theaddition of clean water to give a rapid setting, yetdurable high strength mortar and is ideally suitedfor the filling of voids particularly in newconstruction which need to be rapidly put into service, such as tie-holes, grout holes andvoids around fixings. For the treatment of tie-holes formed by through-ties, any remainingplastic tube should be cut back and removed to approximately 40-50mm from the concreteface. To eliminate the possibility of water tracking around the plastic tube, it should beplugged with cork or a proprietary stopper. Tiefill is a WRAS approved product confirmingsuitability for use in contact with potable water and it is CE Marked in compliance with EN1504-3 Class R4.

Hy-Rib Permanent Formwork

Hy-Rib® Permanent FormworkMetal Formwork

Expamet Hy-Rib® is an expanded metal sheet product,specifically developed for use as permanent formworkto concrete. The profile of the open mesh, incombination with the Hy-Rib tangs, allow thedevelopment of dense concrete nodules and indentson the face of the Hy-Rib, forming an enhancedmechanical key for the second phase pour. In thecase of visible elements, the resulting Hy-Rib surfaceis suitable to receive a rendered or tiled finish.

Hy-Rib is primarily used in construction jointapplications but it is also used to form wall, beam &column surfaces and slabs soffits, where the formedsurface will not be seen.

For over 80 years Hy-Rib has been successfully usedas permanent formwork on innumerable building &infrastructure projects, throughout the world.

Hy-Rib is unique in that it has technical datasupporting it’s use in structural design. Independentbodies have undertaken full scale testing programmesto determine and verify Hy-Rib’s effectiveness informing construction joints. The result is a productwith well defined engineering properties, establishedformwork pressure characteristics and measuredimprovements to the joint performance.

Hy-Rib is certified for use as permanent formwork by the British Board of Agrément (BBA). See table oopposite;

Zinc Coated Hy-Rib

Reasons to use EXPAMET HY-RIB®:• Reduced risk of Hand & Arm vibration injury (white finger): product featured in HSE

document - Vibration Solutions Ref HS (G) 170.• When Hy-Rib is used as vertical formwork, the resulting formwork pressure is significantly

less than that developed with traditional forming materials, reducing the overall supportrequirement.

• Expamet Hy-Rib joint surfaces require minimal preparation prior to the next pour, with theexception of the rebar cover zones. It minimises the labour, mess and disposal requirementsassociated with scabbling, chemical retarders and jet washing.

• A correctly formed Hy-Rib joint outperforms traditionally prepared joints in shear and bond.• Hy-Rib reduces the risk of trapped air and voids within the concrete.• The range of narrower sheet widths improves site productivity and minimises wastage.• Hy-Rib is a proven construction product with comprehensive technical data, manufactured

by an established UK company.• In all joint applications, Hy-Rib permanent formwork can give considerable performance

and economic benefit when compared with traditional solutions.

Typical Applications

• Construction joint stopends in thin & thickbase and suspended slabs.

• Vertical construction joint stopends in thinand thick walls.

• Deep construction joints.• Capping beams.• Permanent wall and column formwork.• Permanent Soffit Formwork.

• Industrial floor slabs.• Water retaining & excluding structures.• Bolt boxes / Void formers.• Curved formwork.• Day work joints.• Baffles to self compacting concrete.• Inclined & top formwork.• Sprayed concrete background.

Clayboard®

Clayboard® is a unique, environmentally friendly void former and foundation stabiliserdeveloped by Dufaylite. Clayboard® is a biodegradable honeycomb core set betweenlightweight polypropylene facings. When dry, Clayboard® is strong enough to support theweight of wet concrete and steel reinforcement.

Water is introduced to the Clayboard® core once the concrete is set, degrading theClayboard® honeycomb centre which will ultimately lead to thecreation of a void. This space will accommodate clay expansionwithout exerting undue pressure on the structure above. Theresulting void continues to accommodate natural soilshrinkage and expansion.

Sizes: Clayboard® is supplied in panels 2440mmlong by 1000mm wide, by the specifiedthickness. Clayboard® is delivered to siteon lightweight pads for easy unloadingand is polythene wrapped for protection.

Thickness: Thickness depends on the depthof the required void which should be specifiedby the soil engineers taking into account theplasticity index.

Metalscreed Unirail Benefits:• Lightweight, easy to use• Strong High Tensile Steel construction• Galvanised to resist corrosion• Forms a vertical face – no voids• Only anchors into one slab• Level - manufactured to ± 1mm per 3 metre length

Unirail 40/60A 40mm high screed rail that can be rotated through90° to increase the height to 60mm. Strong galvanisedHigh Tensile steel construction, with 30mm diameterholes at 50mm centres in both elevations to acceptdowels and tie bars, suitable for screeds up to 100mmdeep.

Unirail 70/90Basically the 40/60, but with multi-positional feet andclamp screws. These feet are designed for use on metaldecking systems, they fix by simple Tek screw to the topof the deck profile, increasing the rail height andproviding height adjustment by an additional 30 –60mm.

Height adjustment to compensate for deflection duringthe pour can be obtained by the use of the clampscrews. 125mm maximum height obtainable on fulladjustment of feet.

Unirail 140140mm high rail with feet fitted, designed for slabs upto 200mm, comes with snap on feet, but can also befixed with pins. Suitable for internal and external slabs.Fix 20mm compressible foam to the rail to construct anexpansion joint which allows concrete to be pouredboth sides simultaneously, providing a fast trackingmethod for external slabs.

For additional arris protection a rail can be fitted bothsides of the foam to create a true expansion joint. Alltypes of dowel can be used in conjunction with this rail,especially the Metadowel which has clips punched intothe rail to secure it in place.

Metal Top Screed RailThe metal top rail is a combination of concrete and galvanised steel. These rails make iteasier to achieve a superflat surface, since the permanent rails provide a more stable basefrom which to screed.

The unique design with its 1.5mm top profile of galvanised steel provides a very straight andfully controlled hairline crack. The profile of this rail along with the holes in the metal strip tiethe rail firmly to the slab.

Lenton CouplersLenton Couplers utilise a tapered thread that is cut into the reinforcement barswhich, when tightened to the required torque setting, will develop thestrength requirements of BS8110 as verified by the British Board ofAgrément BBA.

Two general types of coupler are available: 1) The A12 type requires that one of the two bars being joined is

free to rotate and lock into position

2) The P14 type is used where both bars being joined arefixed and unable to rotate. Both types available in sizesto suit 12-50mm diameter bars.

Reinforcement Continuity SystemsThese are manufactured in a robust, all steel, galvanised casedeveloped to withstand the rigours of site handling andconditions. The case is designed to remain embedded in theconcrete and its indented profile provides an excellent initialbond and subsequent key where structural joints are made.The profile’s efficiency is in the bonding of two concretesurfaces and eliminates any need for manual preparation atthe joint. The ultimate configuration of case, bar, shape &dimensions is almost infinite - so for simplicity, the tables(right) contain ONLY the most regularly requestedcombinations. If your requirement is not catered for in thetables, please contact our sales staff.

Applications:• Walls• Floor slabs• Stairwells• Slip forms• Gutters• Balcony• Parapets

Eazistrip Continuity SystemEazistrip Reinforcement Continuity Systems aredesigned to maintain continuity of reinforcement atconstruction joints in concrete. Formwork design issimplified and there is no need to drill shuttering.Each unit consists of a galvanised steel casing which isdimpled to provide an effective concrete bond. Pre-bent barsare housed within the box and are secured by a protectivecover. When the cover is removed the bars can be straightenedready for lapping onto the main reinforcement. Bars must bestraightened only once, using an Eazistrip re-bending tool.When the potential for water ingress through the constructionjoint is a major concern, Eazistrip can be supplied with aPentaflex hydrostatic seal which provides protection againstmoisture permeation along the joint face.

Eazistrip Reinforcement Continuity systems are CARES approved. The grade of reinforcing barused is Grade 500B, minimum yield 500N/mm2, minimum uniform elongation Agt 5%. Thebars are bent in accordance with BS8666.

Standard Range SpecificationsThe following tables give details of the Eazistrip standard ranges. Many customers requirepurpose-made units to suit their particular application. In order to meet this requirementAncon will manufacture according to your specific bar arrangement. The most commonshapes are shown overleaf. We can provide custom-built shapes to meet your configuration.For further details please contact your local branch.

Notes:1. Dimensions shown are nominal. Heights and lengths may typically vary by one bar diameter.2. On 16mm diameter Type U boxes, the stirrup may be achieved by using two shape code

21 bars. These are referenced DH.3. Boxes containing 16mm bars are nominally 40-50mm deep.4. Maximum box length is 3m dependant upon weight.

MBT CouplersThe MBT range of couplers provides a cost-effective methodof joining reinforcing bars, particularly when the fixed bar isalready in place and there is insufficient space for a hydraulicswaging press. They are easy to install and achieve failureloads higher than 115% of the characteristic yield strengthof grade 500 reinforcing bar. Neither bar end preparation toform threads, nor bar rotation are required. MBT couplerscan also be used to join imperial, plain round or deformedreinforcing bars.

When the pre-determined tightening torque for the bolts isreached, the heads shear off leaving the top of the installedbolt slightly proud of the coupler. This provides an instantvisual check of correct installation.

MBT ET SeriesET series couplers are used to connect reinforcing bars of the same diameter. They can beused when neither bar can be rotated and are available in sizes 10mm to 40mm.

MBT Transition SeriesMBT Transition couplers connect reinforcing bars of different diameters and are suitable for applications when neither bar can be rotated. They are available to suit bar sizes 12mmto 40mm.

MBT Headed Anchors

MBT Headed Anchors MBT Headed Anchors are designed to provide deadend embedment for bars in concrete. This helps toreduce congestion and simplify the placement of rebarsby removing the need for hooked ends. The anchorcomprises half an MBT coupler with a plate welded toone end which carries the full tension load of the barwhen it is bearing against the concrete. The MBTHeaded Anchor also has the added advantage ofrequiring no special bar end preparation.

Shear Load ConnectorsAncon shear connectors offer significant advantages overconventional single dowels. The two-part constructionmeans that the sleeve component can be simply nailed tothe formwork, drilling or either formwork or concrete is notrequired. The dowel unit can then be inserted into thesleeve. The engineered nature of the two componentsensures alignment, vital where movement is required.

DSDThe DSD is the original two-part, double dowel, shear loadconnector. The dowel component can move longitudinallywithin the sleeve to accommodate movement.

DSDQThe DSDQ shear load connector uses the same dowelcomponent as the DSD, but the cylindrical sleeve iscontained within a rectangular box section to allow lateralmovement in addition to the longitudinal movement.

ESDThis single dowel shear connector is available in three sizeswith each size available in two lengths. ESD shearconnectors are used where the slab or wall is too thin forDSD, and where loads are small.

ESDQThe ESDQ shear load connector uses the same dowel as theESD, but the cylindrical sleeve is contained within arectangular box section to allow lateral movement inaddition to longitudinal movement.

Insulated & Reinforced Balcony Connectors

Ancon IsolanThe Ancon Isolan system joins external concrete balconies tointernal concrete floor slabs. It provides continuity to boththe reinforcement and the thermal insulation of the wallprotecting the building against the effects of cold bridging.Standard systems, comprising rigid CFC-free polystyreneinsulation and stainless steel shear reinforcement, areavailable in five heights to suit different slab depths.Conventional reinforcing bars (supplied by others) provide the tension and compressionreinforcement.

work &

Accessories

System BenefitsAncon Isolan connectors use conventional reinforcing bars (grade 500B to BS4449: 2005) toprovide the tension and compression reinforcement. When compared to systems where thisreinforcement is an integral component, the Ancon Isolan solution can provide substantialcost savings and simplify specification, scheduling, transportation, handling and installation.

MV SystemThe Ancon Isolan MV system is used for the transfer of moment and shear forces incantilevered balconies.

V SystemThe Ancon Isolan V system is used for the transfer of shearforces in simply supported balconies.

Its purpose is to use the Blue Glider as a vehicle to extenda broom effortlessly across wide slabs of uncured concretewithout lifting or reaching.

The trowel supports the weight of the broom, while thevariable pitch bracket allows the broom to be lifted clearof the surface during extension by turning the handle tolift the leading edge of the trowel. Simply turning thehandle the opposite direction engages the broom andcontrols downward pressure during retrieval.

The broom itself is mounted on an adjustable pivotingarm, which allows the user to determine the workingangle of the broom from 45º to perpendicular.

Frost BlanketsApplication: Laying concrete at temperatures below 5ºC generally requires special precautions(such as special concrete additives, heating devices, hot vapour equipment etc.). An easy andinexpensive solution is the use of Frost Blankets. The thermal insulation effect of the FrostBlanket significantly reduces the loss of natural concrete hydration heat and thereby keepsthe concrete warm long enough for a safe curing.

Benefits: Concrete laying in summer and winter season. The combination of their excellentthermal insulation performance, their negligible water absorption and their flexibility makeFrost Blankets ideal for improved concrete curing.

• negligible water absorption.• excellent thermal insulation.• excellent chemical resistance.• fast laying from the roll.• lightweight, easy to handle and cut.• good mechanical resistance.• flexible at very low temperatures.

Frost blankets from SIG Construction Accessories can bedirectly rolled onto the wet concrete. Wind conditionsmight necessitate the mats being held in place bysuitable loading at the contractor’s discretion. Bewarenot to walk on the mats during installation and beforehardening of the concrete.

Bentonite Geotextile Waterproofing

Bentonite has been used by the construction industry in waterproofing systems for morethan 30 years. Naturally occurring sodium bentonite has exceptional waterproofing qualities,with its ability to swell when in contact with water and convert from dry clay to imperviousgel. Manufacturers have harnessed this waterproofing power by containing sodium bentonitebetween two layers of geotextile, creating the ideal system for sealing reinforced concretestructures. Can be installed in virtually any weather condition.

Bentonite membrane forms a continuous mechanical bond to concrete. This bond is createdwhen the strong geotextile fibres are encapsulated by poured concrete as shown in theillustration.

Supercast - SWSupercast SW is a swellable Waterstop for integral sealing of construction joints in concretecast in-situ.

Supercast - SWXSupercast SWX is grey, elastomeric water-swellable paste which is applied like a sealant. Thehydrophilic properties of Supercast SWX display good consistency in swell rate duringrepeated wet/dry cycling. Expansion of the product on contact with water creates a positivepressure against the faces of the concrete joint, thus preventing the passage of water.

Supercast - SW AdhesiveSupercast SW Adhesive is used to fix Supercast SW10 and SW12 to substrate.

Servistrip® AH205Servistrip® AH205 is a hydrophilic solid rubber strip that exceeds the performance of thinlycoated or hollow swellable strips. Servistrip AH 205 can be cast into insitu concrete or usedbetween new and existing concrete sections to provide a highly effective watertight seal. Therate of swelling is controlled to allow installation and exposure to rain. The swelling pressuredoes not cause spalling or damage to freshly poured concrete before it has time to reach itsdesign strength. The simple, solid form also allows it to be used in difficult locations such asdiaphragm and secant piled walls. Also concrete surfaces where other sealing methodswould be impractical.

Denso MasticA mastic for all sealing, filling and caulking purposes.

Vitaseal Expanding Foam TapesVitaseal expanding foam tapes are manufactured using an opencell polyurethane foam heavily impregnated with acrylics. Whenthe impregnated foam is compressed, the cells close and at only20% compression provide a complete primary weather seal. The importance of a breathable and weatherproof seal isessential in view of the new proposals in Part L of the BuildingRegulations - Conservation of Fuel & Power in dwellings.Vitaseal foam tapes offer a highly effective seal whilst allowingthe structure to breathe at the same time.

The unique cell structure and impregnation of the foam allowsmoisture to evaporate externally and prevents warm airescaping in this way not affecting the insulation propertiesrequired under Part L.

Vitaseal is available as 300kPa (Vitaseal 300) and 600kPa(Vitaseal 600), both tapes provide excellent sealing propertiesagainst weather. The 600kPa product is recommended for usein more extreme weather applications and is resistant to UV.The 300kPa product is more suitable for partial weather exposure.

Vitaseal expanding foam tapes are used extensively in roofing, glazing and general buildingand construction applications as a primary weather seal. The expanding foam tapes are usedto seal uneven gaps between a variety of structures and surfaces.

Brick & Concrete Cleaning MaterialChemclean A specially selected blend of inhibited inorganic acids, ideal for the removal of all cementbased contamination and rust from a wide range of surfaces.

Chemclean is ideal for the easy removal of concrete laitance from plant and equipment.Rust stains are quickly removed from all concrete surfaces. Ideal for descaling and rustremoval from metal components. Excellent for final washing of newly exposed aggregatepanels and ideal for etching concrete prior to application of subsequent treatments.Economical to use, can be diluted with water for many applications.

Available in 5 and 25 litre sizes.

Concrete RemoverCure Chemicals Concrete Remover is designed exclusively to cleanconcrete construction equipment and does not contain any Muriatic,Phosphoric or Citric acids and is therefore non-corrosive. It is safe touse on painted surfaces, aluminium, glass and rubber. It is safe for both human handlingand for the environment. Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover is biologically degradable andcan be discarded in the normal sewage system (EAK 17 09 04).

How it works: Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover contains active substances that break down the moleculesthat bind the cement together with sand and water. Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover is mixed with water to the desired strength and appliedas a foam to the item concerned, using for example, a handheld foamer. The foam shouldbe left to act on the concrete for 20-45 minutes. Then clean off the item thoroughly with ahigh-pressure cleaner or with water and a stiff brush. In cases where there is heavy buildup,the treatment can be repeated. Since the product is not harmful to the environment, it canbe drained directly into the public sewer system (EWC 17 09 04).

Collectively these extra benefits make for optimum utilisation of time and equipment. It isfinancially sound, saving you money as well as preserving your equipment and extending itslife. You can use Cure Chemicals Concrete Remover on hand tools, mixers, scaffolding andaluminium sections.

Available in 5 and 20 litre sizes. Plus Hand Foamer.

Fischer Resin Capsules• This tried and tested fixing system consists of the RGM threaded rod and the resin capsule RM.

• The 2-component resin capsule RM contains quick-setting styrene-free vinyl resin and hardener.

• During setting, the edges of the threaded rod destroy the capsule in the drill hole, which mix and activate the mortar.

• Resin adheres to the entire surface of the threaded rod, bonding it to the wall of the drilled hole.

Advantages/Benefits:• Threaded rods are supplied with an easy to use hexagonal installation drive or can beinstalled with an adapter.

• High-performance resin guarantees high loads in non-cracked concrete. • The resin anchoring is free of expansion forces and permits small axial spacings and edge distances.

• New European design methodenables optimum use of the anchorsystem for cost-efficient fixing.

Fischer Resin Anchor StudsThe Resin Anchoring System is free of expansion forces and permits low axial spacings and edgedistances. High permissible loads in the concrete compressive zone and simple installation makethe Fischer resin anchor system a highly practical composite system in solid concrete. All threaded rods up to 300mm are supplied with an easy to assemble hexagonal installation drive.

Installation instructions:• Clean drill hole thoroughly.• The threaded rod must be placed in with an impact – rotational process using an electric tool(hammer drill with a speed of 750 rpm).

• The temperature – dependant waiting periods until complete setting of the resin must be borne inmind.

• The anchor may also be set in moist drill holes (remove surplus water from drill holes).The waiting periods then have to be doubled.

In design situations when a masonry support angle is requiredthere are three principle systems to choose from:AnconOptima, MDC or CFA. Through our on site designevaluation with your project manager and negotiations withyour procurement and design teams, we can ascertain whichsystem is appropriate in each instance.

Project Management ServiceSIG Construction Accessories is the primary driver of information flow throughout the designprocess of masonry support systems. All aspects of the approval and manufacturing processare coordinated through a dedicated account manager, who will ensure the proposeddesigns are signed off for manufacture and delivered to your construction schedule.

Detailed cross section and layout drawings are supplied for the bespoke support systemrequired. This will show the location of the fixings, whether it is bolt positioning for cast-inchannels for concrete frames or bolt positioning for steel frames. Bracket angle units arecross referenced clearly against grid lines for easy installation on site.

Details for Specification and OrderingThe principal information needed to start an enquiry is:- What is the cavity size?- What is the masonry load to be carried?- What is the support system being fixed back to?

Specification / ReferencingAncon masonry support follows an easy to use referencing system to aid installation on site. The reference always follows the same structure:

System / type / cavity / masonry load / projectionwhere:MDC = Welded Bracket / Angle.MDC/R = Welded Bracket / Angle with reversed angle.MDC/I = Welded Bracket / Angle inverted angle system.CFA = Cold Formed Angle standard system.CFA/I = Cold Formed Angle Inverted system.P = Projection.

Examples:MDC / R / 75 / 5.6Welded Bracket system with a reversed angle to suit a 75mm cavity and to carry 5.6kN/metrerun of masonry.

CFA / I / 50 / 6.0Continuous / Cold Formed Angle system with an inverted angle to suit a 50mm cavity and tocarry 6.0kN/m run of masonry.

AdjustmentCast-in channel will provide virtually unlimited horizontal adjustment; slotted holes in a steeledge member will offer more limited adjustment.The ability of welded bracket support systems to accommodate variations in the line of thestructure is limited by the maximum thickness of shims.Shims can be included between the bracket and the frame up to a maximum thickness ofthe outside diameter of the fixing bolt, or 16mm, whichever is less.Vertical adjustment is provided by the deep slot in the back of the bracket.

Bi-metallic CorrosionCorrosion of a steel frame may be slightly increased where there is direct contact withstainless steel in a damp environment. This can be avoided by isolating the two dissimilarmetals by painting the contact area or by incorporating a separating membrane.

Available from stockThe Industry’s growing emphasis on speed of construction,and the limited ability of welded bracket support systems toprovide adjustment on site, has created a demand for an off-the-shelf support system.AnconOptima consists of short two-step angles,interchangable brackets and locking wedges.

Benefits of AnconOptima• More adjustable than welded bracket systems allowing for variations in the structuralframe.• Specified by using simple load / cavity charts.• No requirement for detailed layout drawings, reducing design time.• Non project specific and supplied from stock.• Faster and easier to install - reduces labour requirements for installation.

AnconOptima Standard Support Systems

AdjustmentBrackets are changed on site to allow for variations in theedge beam and are available to suit cavities from 60mmto 150mm in 5mm increments.

Shims can be used for fine adjustments and should neverneed to be more than 4mm thick.

The AnconOptima System features a fixing zone providinga total of 50mm horizontal adjustment. If the system is tobe fixed using expansion bolts, the brackets can bemoved to eliminate clashes between the bolts andreinforcing bar. This also allows the system to be fixed to pre-drilled holes rather than slots insteelwork.

Vertical adjustment is achieved in the usual way by the deep slot in the back of the bracket.

Horizontal adjustment can be increased by fixing the system to an Ancon channel cast intothe face of the concrete.

This bespoke system can carry over eight metres ofbrickwork and can accommodate any width of cavity from40mm. The brackets are welded to the angle and thematerial content of both components is optimised to ensurean economic solution.

The Ancon MDC System can be supplied in a variety ofconfigurations to suit particular applications and supportspecial masonry features. The size of the support angle canbe varied to suit the thickness and height of the masonry tobe carried. Bracket spacing, depth and height are all variedto suit loadings, fixing position and cavity width.

AdjustmentLimited adjustment is provided in every direction to allow for tolerance in the structuralframe.The serrated and slotted face of the bracket allows for vertical adjustment. Shims allowadjustment to suit variation in the structural frame. Longitudinal adjustment is provided by acast-in channel in concrete or slots in steelwork.

Ancon MDC Bracket Angle Support System

Continuous angles are usually suitable for applicationswhere cavities are small, or there is a requirement for thecavity to be closed at the support position.The angles will normally be supplied in lengths of up to fourmetres.

AdjustmentAdjustment is provided in every direction to allow fortolerance in the structural frame. Vertical slots in the anglewith serrated pads allow ±25mm adjustment. Horizontaladjustment is virtually unlimited when fixing to a continuouscast-in channel and will depend on the length of the slottedholes in the edge member when fixing to steel.

Slotted holes (18 x 60mm) in the angle allow horizontal adjustmentof ±22mm. Shims can be included between the bracket and the frame, upto a maximum thickness of the outside diameter of the fixing bolt, or 16mm,whichever is less.

Cutting On SiteAnconOptima is not designed for specific buildings andcertain angles will need to be cut on site to suit thelength required. Each angle section must have at leasttwo brackets.

CornersStandard left-hand and right-hand corners are available.Each corner section requires three brackets in order toachieve the required performance. These sections shouldnever be cut.

Cast-in Channels range from simple self-anchoring slotsfor accepting restraint fixings to large capacity channelswith integral anchors. They provide the necessaryadjustment required when fixing to concrete and caneliminate site drilling. Nail holes aid the fixing of channelsto timber formwork and an infill prevents the ingress ofconcrete during casting.Cast-in fixings do not generate expansive forces in theconcrete and can be used at close centres and closer tothe edges than expansion fixings. There are many cast-inchannel profiles, the most commonly used are 21/18 and30/20.

Omega 21/18The Omega 21/18 Channel is a self-anchoringchannel for use with Ancon wall ties referencedSP21, SD21 or PP21. The shallow depth of 18mmallows the channel to be used where there isreduced cover to the reinforcement. Nail holes aidthe fixing of the channel to timber formwork.

30/20Ancon 30/20 is a high performance channel and should be used in preference to 38/17. Itsunique shape allows the applied load to be fed directly from the channel lips to the anchorsand the more compact section size improves its fit between reinforcement. In addition, itslower material content provides cost benefits.Specially designed T-head bolts ride up the sloping sides of the channel and securely lockbehind the front lips. This channel also accepts standard 20mm wide wall ties.

Design ConsiderationsThere are several factors which will affect the performance of these fixings. The following areas should be considered to ensure that the expected performance isachieved:• Embedment.• Edge distances and spacings.• Fixing thicknesses and shims.• Combined loads.


Brickwork A

Fixing to ChannelsThis is achieved by ‘T’ head bolts. These are inserted into thechannel and turned through 90°. The bolt must then betightened to the correct torque. Tapped plate washers can beused as an alternative to ‘T’ bolts where non-standard boltlengths or diameters are required.

Allowable Channel LoadsThe allowable load data is available on request.

Channel InfillAll Ancon channels are supplied filled to help stop theingress of concrete during casting. This material is removedeasily in long sections .

Installation GuidanceWhen fixing to timber formwork, all nail holes need to beutilised, to prevent excessive ingress of concrete finesbetween the formwork and the channel during casting.Nails with a plain shank should be installed perpendicular to the channel to ensure easyremoval of the formwork.

Lintels span across openings (typically doors andwindows) and transfer the weight of the masonryabove the opening to the masonry each side. Thehorizontal leg of the lintel fits within a bed joint, thefront edge is usually turned down to provide a dripedge which helps shed moisture above the opening.Lintels usually support both leaves of masonry, butsingle leaf lintels are also available.

A complete range of galvanised and stainless steellintels are available to suit all domestic and commercialapplications.

The Housing and Unilintel ranges are designed to suit the loading conditions found in themajority of residential and commercial buildings.

The standard range consists of:• Housing Lintels.• Unilintels.• Channel Lintels.• Solid Wall Lintels.• Single Leaf Lintels.• Timber Frame Lintels.• Box Lintels.

WindpostsLarge panels of masonry or panels with openings can oftenbe difficult to justify structurally. The traditional solutionshave been to either increase the thickness of the wall orintroduce an additional column. Windposts fit within thewall allowing the existing thickness to be maintained.Both stainless steel and mild steel / coated windposts canbe supplied.

Ancon WP1 and WP3 WindpostsThese are channel section windposts which are designedto be installed within the cavity leaving the blockworkundisturbed. The windposts are complete with endconnections and ties which fit into the vertical slots in theflanges of the channel section.

Ancon WP2 WindpostsWP2 Windposts are angle section windposts designed foreither small cavities or where wind loads are high. One legof the angle windpost is built into the blockwork, and theblockwork is tied through the leg of the windpost tominimise any possible movement or cracking of internalfinishes. If a vertical movement joint is required in place of atied joint, debonded ties can be supplied.

Ancon WP4 WindpostsThese are generally used in internal blockwork walls that have a 'fair faced' finish to bothsides and where the windposts cannot protrude beyond either face.

Sometimes referred to as 'spine' posts they are flat plates designed to fit within the wall.

Although the depth of a WP4 post is limited by the width of the masonry (ideally 20mm lessthan the wall width) the thickness of the post can vary to increase its load capacity.

Blockwork is tied through the post. Debonded ties can be used if the post is positioned at amovement joint.

Windpost DesignWindposts are designed and manufactured to suit each individual project. Sufficienttime should be allowed for the design, approval and manufacturing process whenplacing orders.Ancon Windposts are designed to span vertically between floors to provide lateral supportfor panels of brickwork. The windposts will usually be restrained by the brickwork anddesigned as ‘simply supported beams’.

Deflection under wind load will often limit the maximum loading. Windposts can bedesigned as ‘propped cantilevers’ to limit deflection, this however will require a much largerbase connection which in many cases may be difficult to accommodate.

Connections to the frame are designed to permit adjustment during installation. Serratedsurfaces will be provided where adjustment is in the direction of the load. The top

connection allows for shrinkage or vertical movement ofthe frame to take place. The type of fixing will depend onthe nature of the frame. Expansion bolts are normallysupplied for concrete frames and set screws will besupplied for steel frames.

Typical fixing details are shown overleaf, although othersare available.

Parapet and Spandrel PostsAncon Parapet and Spandrel Posts are restrained by thebrickwork and designed as ‘cantilevers’. The baseconnection will need to be sufficient to resist the ‘bendingmoment’ and may in some cases be difficult toaccommodate within the floor construction. The height ofthese posts is unlikely to be more than 1.6 metres.

Exmet ReinforcementReinforced brickwork is preferable to unreinforced in alltypes of building because steel reinforcement adds tensilestrength to the inherent compressive strength of thistraditional construction method.

Reasons why you should select stainless steel or galvanisedExmet for reinforcing brickwork;• Exmet is a length of expanded stainless or galvanised mesh

with continuity of steel throughout.• Exmet has no joints, welds or interweaving to fail under

stress.• Once mortared into brickwork the diamond-shaped

meshes are anchored immovably so that the reinforcementcannot slip under tension.

Length of Tie and EmbedmentWall ties should be of the correct length to ensure theyare properly embedded in the masonry. The tie shouldhave a minimum embedment of 50mm in each leaf butalso take site tolerances into account for both cavity widthand centring of the tie. For this reason we suggest tielengths which achieve an embedment of between62.5mm and 75mm.Recommended lengths to suit various cavity widths areshown for masonry-to-masonry wall ties.

Two-Part TieCavities exceeding 150mm are sometimes required. Thisnecessitates longer ties which can be difficult to balance andkeep horizontal when built into the inner leaf. The AnconTwo-Part Tie has one section built into the blockwork; theother section is then fixed as the outer leaf is built.

The inner tie is manufactured in a standard length of 170mm. Variation in the cavity width isaccommodated by the length of the outer tie. Insulation Retaining Clips can be supplied tofit the inner section.

Ancon Two-Part Ties sustain loads which exceed the requirements for a Type 2 tie to BS5628-1 for cavities up to 300mm. An embedment of 75mm is required at each end.

Ancon Fastrack ChannelBuilding one leaf of the cavity wall in advance of the other isoften beneficial but can create problems with coursing.Buildings which incorporate imperial or continental bricks andstandard metric blocks present even greater difficulties.

Ancon Fastrack Channel is built into the inner leaf ofblockwork ready to take an Ancon SD28 or similar tie for theouter leaf. This method of construction avoids the dangers ofprojecting ties (Tie lengths = open cavity + 50mm).

Ancon Fastrack Channels and Ties can be supplied in different lengths and can also be usedfor tying stonework to blockwork if DD28 or similar Ancon Ties are used.

Ancon Fastrack Channels and Ties sustain loads which exceed the requirements for a Type 2tie to BS 5628-1.

This system can also be manufactured in a 36/8 channel profile that accepts wall tiesreferenced SP36 or SD36.

Non-Drill FixingsAncon’s range of ‘Non-Drill’ masonry to steel fixing solutions wasdeveloped to address the safety concerns of the Industry. Driven bycustomer demand for masonry restraint fixings with an alternateinstallation method from that of either shot-firing or drilling, Anconengineered the innovative solutions that are detailed here. Thesefixings do not require the use of power tools and can reduceinstallation times and costs. In all instances they simply about thecolumn or attach to the flange to restrain the wall against lateralwind loads.

Eliminate the dangers associated with shot-firing and drilling:• Quick, simple and economical to install.• No power tools required.• No special skills or equipment required.• Fixings either abut the column or attach to the flange.

Column TieThe Column Tie clamps to the flange of a column. It accommodates asteel thickness from 6mm to 25mm and should be installed at 225mmvertical centres. Manufactured in lengths to suit the application, it canfeature a drip for use across the cavity or a plain shank for installationback into the inner leaf.

Column Tie

Remedial Wall TiesCorrosion of Cavity Wall TiesWall ties are an essential element in the stability of masonry panels. Prior to 1978, wall tieswere usually manufactured from galvanized mild steel. These ties were expected to last thelifetime of the building, but for many years it has been recognised that some of these wallties have corroded after only 15 or 20 years.

Type Description

Ancon MM 63 Used when tying together two leaves of solid materials, this tie hasMechanical / mechanical expanders at each end. Requires 10.5mm holes.Mechanical

Ancon RM 63 For use when the material in the inner leaf is perforated, of low- Resin / density or afriable material. A resin fixing may be used to Mechanical eliminate any imposed stress. Requires 10.5mm or 11mm holes.

Staifix RIR Used where mechanical expanders are unusable. Normally insertedinto a hole, but if test facilities are required, a 12mm hole must beused. A plastic sieve can be used to retain resin and is particularly useful in perforated brick or hollow blockwork. A 12mm hole is required to fit the sieve.

Stairib Bar Stainless steel ribbed bar, resin-grouted into the inner and outer leaves.

Ancon AC 31 Used where bricks are removed then replaced in the outer leaf. The wavy end is resin-bonded into the inner leaf in a 10mm hole. The triangular end sits in the bed joint. Ancon AC 31 can be supplied with a drip or a neoprene ring.

Ancon AC 31C Similar to the AC 31 but cranked by 25mm to aid fixing to the inner leaf.

Suitable for wall widths from 60mm to 250mm andmasonry up to eight metres in height, this system willresist a wind load of up to 4.5kN over a height of2400mm.

Wall Ties slide within the fixing strip to course with thebed joints of any masonry unit. This Universal Wall StarterSystem meets the technical requirements of the NHBC.

Multi-StartersFeaturing a ‘turn-n-slide tie’ to accommodate all sizes ofbrick/block. The Multi-Starter is suitable for all wall widthsfrom 60mm-250mm.

The turn-n-slide ties enable the starter to be tied into anycourse the builder wishes, ideally every (225mm deep) blockcourse or every third course of (75mm deep) bricks.Slots at each end allow easy connection of one length tothe next.

Head RestraintsHead Restraints provide the necessary restraint to the top ofmasonry walls. They allow for vertical movement toaccommodate shrinkage or thermal movement of the wallor structural frame, whilst restraining wind loads.

The Ancon IHR is used for restraining the top ofinternal walls or the top of the inner leaf of acavity wall. The opening at the front of thechannel stem is sealed to prevent mortar ingressand to ensure that vertical movement can takeplace between the blockwork and the structure.The base of the stem must be built within a bedjoint with the centre of the stem no closer than 50mm from the edge ofthe block. The vertical joint should be filled with mortar each side of thestem. The maximum joint between the top of the blockwork and theunderside of the frame should not be greater than 25mm.

The sliding tie can be provided with either a hole (IHR - B) or slot (IHR - V)to suit M8 bolts, with a notch end to fix directly into a 38/17 or 30/20 cast-in channel (IHR - C) and with a notch end to suit the Hammer-On Section(page 216) that attaches to a steel flange without site drilling (IHR - H). The standard Ancon IHR will suit a 215mm high block and canresist a load of 1.5kN*. Other sizes between 150 - 250mm are available.

*The IHR-H can resist a load of 1kN. When fixed at 450mm centres staggered each side ofthe lower beam flange (effective centres 900mm on each side) the service load will be 1.1kNper metre in either direction.

Abutment TraysAbutment trays are used to damp proof and flash where sloping roofsabut cavity walls. It is imperative that every stepped and staggeredgable abutment is constructed to prevent rainwater and dampnessfrom penetrating below the abutting roofline.

The tray is available in both undressed and lead dressedform. The tray in the dressed form combines the functions ofcavity DPC and roof lead flashing. These are manufactured withtwo choices of lead flashing lengths.

Leaded Cavity TraysShort Lead FlashingsSuitable to dress over the upstand of a secretgutter or soaker.

Long Lead FlashingsSuitable to be dressed across the roof tile.In these circumstances, roof tiles must besuitably ‘shaped’ ie: not flat. At a later datewhen the roof surface is complete, theplumber has only to dress the flashings.

InstallationTray installation is very straightforward and in atypical brickwork application the bricklayer lays one trayin every course, following the slope of the roof. All traysand the projecting lead flashing are flush-pointed as the masonry is raised.

Thus the usual requirement to rake out joints and return to point-in flashings at a later date iseliminated.

Tray TypesThere are 4 main types of abutment trays:

Ridge trayThis unit straddles the ridge. It has open ends and thusallows water to discharge to the left or right.

Intermediate trayTray is supplied handed and built-in each course up the rakeof the roof. Each tray has an end upstand, thus water canonly discharge via the open end into the tray below.

JizerWater rinsable degreaser solvent action removes oil, grease, tar, bitumen and waxesused neat. Available in 5 and 25 litres.

Catchment trayThis is similar to an intermediate tray, but it has upstands to both ends. Its function is to receivewater from the intermediate trays above and to discharge this water through a weep vent.

Internal/External anglesAn angle tray is used instead of a catchment tray if the abutment ends or returns on a corner.An angle may also provide a link with horizontal trays.

Frost BlanketsApplication: Laying concrete at temperatures below 5ºC generally requires special precautions(such as special concrete additives, heating devices, hot vapour equipment etc.). An easy andinexpensive solution is the use of frost blankets. The thermal insulation effect of the frostblanket significantly reduces the loss of natural concrete hydration heat and thereby keepsthe concrete warm long enough for a safe curing.

Benefits: Concrete laying in summer and winter season. The combination of their excellentthermal insulation performance, their negligible water absorption and their flexibility makefrost blankets ideal for improved concrete curing.

Frost blankets can be directly rolled onto the wet concrete. Wind conditions mightnecessitate the mats being held in place by suitable loading at the contractor’s discretion. Beware not to walk on the mats during installation and before hardening of the concrete.Supplied in 150mm rolls.

• Negligible water absorption.• Excellent thermal insulation.• Excellent chemical resistance.• Fast laying from the roll.

• Lightweight, easy to handle and cut.• Good mechanical resistance.• Flexible at very low temperatures.
