Timber Resin Splices are used when a timber joist or beam end
has
become decayed and can no longer carry the load required. They
are
simple to install by our experienced technicians and are less
destructive
than the alternative which is a full replacement. The decayed
timber is
propped then the decayed end is then removed, slots are then
formed and
the timber splice is then positioned. The area is then sealed
and resin is
either poured or injected into the slots.
Beam Strengthening can be used when a load carrying beam is no
longer
up to the loads that are required of it. A slot is formed along
the entire
length of the beam then reinforcing bars are packed in position,
before
resin is poured.
Bower Beams are used to replace joist ends that have decayed;
they are a
simple way to repair the joist without the need for a full
replacement
which can be very destructive. The joist is supported the
decayed end is
then removed and the bower beam is them bolted onto the joist
end.


Crack
Stitching is used when a building starts to get vertical cracking, once the
cause of the crack has been determined as suitable crack stitching method
can be employed. Crack stitches are installed into the bed joints across the
cracks. The bed joints are cut out and then the helical bar is grouted in
place preventing any future movement.
Heli-Beaming
is used to create a structural beam, by installing long lengths of helibar
at a set spacing and using the existing masonry to create a beam. This
method is used where subsidence is a problem and can be used in conjunction
with under pinning.
