CONSTRUCTION FIXINGS No need to clean holes after drilling


Hilti says that its HIT-HY 200 injectable adhesive anchor system is a completely new solution that means a giant leap for the construction industry – because there’s no longer any need to clean holes after drilling.


C


leaning holes after drilling is seen by contractors around the world as a tedious, time-consuming part of the chemical anchor installation process. It requires the use of steel brushes and compressed air or manual pumps. However, up to now, correct hole cleaning has been essential for reliable anchor performance. In 2012 Hilti launched with the label SAFEset two completely new installation processes for chemical anchoring


applications and post-installed rebar. The anchoring system consists of Hilti HIT-HY 200 injectable adhesive mortar and the Hilti HIT-Z anchor rod. This new rod, featuring a tapered helix, functions according to the torque-controlled bonded anchor principle. This means that because of its shape, the HIT-Z anchor rod is unsusceptible to dusty or dirty holes in dry or water-saturated concrete. The second system was specially developed for post-installed rebar


applications and comprises Hilti HIT-HY 200 resin and the innovative Hilti TE-CD and TE-YD hollow drill bits for SDS plus and SDS max connection ends. These drill bits make subsequent hole cleaning completely unnecessary as dust is removed by the vacuum system while drilling is in progress. Ideal for all post-installed rebar work, the system really comes into its own in large-scale repetitive rebar applications. Hilti points out that its innovative anchor and rebar installation


systems not only eliminate a critical working step, they also save time, cut labour costs and help ensure reliability. Contractors and engineers can now rest assured that the applicable fastenings will, in fact, provide the performance they are designed to achieve. This new Hilti system with its SAFEset installation methods has been awarded the European Technical Approval Option 1 (ETA-12/0028).


Ceram and SCI announce CE marking partnership


The leading technical authority in steel construction, the Steel Construction Institute, and the international materials technology company, Ceram, are to work in partnership to deliver an optimum testing and assessment service for their clients.


K


een to provide a more complete service from initial concept and analysis through to structural design solutions, the partnership recognises the relevance of Ceram’s testing facilities to the steel sector and


in particular its needs for CE marking, as well as the Steel Construction Institute’s steel design engineering expertise. By combining Ceram’s facilities with SCI’s specialist


knowledge of the steel construction sector and its needs, clients will be better served going forward in what seems an ever more complicated regulatory environment. Ceram has well established structural testing capabilities and been involved with numerous major projects, including most

recently the 2012 Olympic Aquatics Centre. Ceram has a very large UKAS accreditation schedule and is a Notified Body for the testing of steel lintels and other building components in relation to CE marking. SCI has experience of developing European Technical


Approvals to cover unique construction products. A manufacturer can then progress towards CE marking, supported by a Notified Body who undertakes the assessment of factory production control. In partnership with a Notified Body, SCI can assist manufacturers in the CE marking process by developing the necessary European Technical Approval where a harmonised standard does not exist.
