The Cintec Anchor is increasingly recognized as the minimal disruption answer for the upgrading of buildings, churches, monuments and historic structures. Its unique design features allow for
adaptations that meet unique project requirements while still remaining sensitive to the original architecture.
strength from within
Ranging from sophisticated wall ties, to solid bar and multi-bar anchors over 100 feet (30m) in length, the Cintec Anchor System can be adapted to suit a myriad of applications. Internationally,
Cintec has dealt with such high-profile projects as Windsor Castle, U.K., the Australian and Canadian Parliament Buildings, Blair House (part of the White House Complex, Washington, U.S.A.), and the Bank of Montreal in Quebec. The Brandenburg
Tower and Cathedral in Germany, the ancestral home of a former President of the U.S.A. and the Prudential Building in Chicago have also benefited from the Cintec Solution.
the world of Cintec
The Cintec Anchor System comprises a structural member in a mesh fabric sleeve into which a specially developed grout is injected under low pressure. Installation is through precisely drilled holes
produced by wet or dry diamond coring technology. The flexible sleeve of woven polyester contains the grout flow and expands up to twice its previous diameter, moulding itself into the shapes and spaces within the walls to provide a strong
mechanical bond along the entire length of the anchor. This will often dispense with the need for tie plates on the exterior of the structure. The grout is a specially formulated Portland cement based product, containing graded aggregates and
other constituents which, when mixed with water, produce a pumpable cementitious grout that exhibits good strength without shrinkage or other adverse effects.
