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.
Helibeaming
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.
Remedial WalltiesWall Tie Replacement is carried out when the
existing ties become corroded and can no longer carry out their function,
which is to hold two skins of masonry together. This is a non-destructive
repair which involves isolating the existing ties preventing them from
causing any further damage. Then new helical ties are installed by drilling
a pilot hole then using special equipment screwing them in to hold the two
skins of masonry together again. The dry fix ties used for wall tie
replacement can also be used to pin arches
CemtiesCem-Ties are used to prevent walls that are separating
from separating any further. A holes are drilled through the damaged area in
a set pattern then cem-ties are installed using special equipment the ties
is a length of Helical bar and it grouted in place.
BowtiesBow-Ties are used to stop walls that have become
unstable from falling down by tieing then into the floor joist, and using
the floor as a diaphragm. They are install by drilling through the masonry
at joist level then screwing them into the joists. They are then anchored to
the masonry using a resin compound.
Timber Resin RepairsTimber 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.
Bower BeamBower 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.
