It all adds up to an application-specific anchoring solution that can be configured in a way that is normally associated only with 100% bespoke anchors, which are notoriously costly in small volumes and incur long lead times.
How LIEBIG’s unique post-installation solution can challenge cast-in anchoring dominance Given the perceived performance benefits, cast-in place anchoring has long been the preferred approach for structural engineers when considering applications in to concrete.
EJOT has developed a new high-performance ETA (European Technical Assessment) approved through-bolt – also known as an anchor bolt – to provide installers with dependable anchoring into the full range of Option 7 non-cracked concrete applications.

In common with the Forestias ethos to bring together technology and nature, the Forest Pavilion features an extensive green roof as part of an eye-catching building envelope alongside aluminium shingles, aluminium standing seam and PV-panels.
The area around the anchor washer is cut with the installation tool and the insulation material is automatically compressed under the washer when the anchor is screwed in. Then an insulating cap is simply inserted flush into the recess between the anchor washer and the facade surface.
The LIEBIG Superplus BLS anchor is widely used in nuclear power plants due to its extended seismic approvals, including those beyond the ETA, by demonstrating its suitability for continued specification and use in light of the transition from CE marking to the UKCA mark.
EJOT UK has produced two specification style brochures that provides detailed technical information to cover Liebig’s modular anchoring technology. The Liebig Ultraplus undercutting anchor is detailed in a solus brochure whilst the Liebig Anchor, Liebig Safety Bolt and Liebig Superplus are detailed in one document.

Anchoring expertise provides bespoke solution for seismic marine application EJOT UK has delivered an innovative LIEBIG concrete anchoring solution for a key part of critical safety infrastructure used in the maintenance of Royal Navy submarines at Devonport Royal Dockyard. The Project The project at Babcock International’s facility within HMNB Devonport – the largest naval base in Western Europe – involved the replacement of corroded anchors that were securing a large cast iron brow hanger to the dock side.
In this sector, the EJOT brand is best known for excellence in ETICS anchors, and this is reflected by the fact that most leading systems designers have the confidence to include our products as integral to their holistic solutions.
Innovative mechanical anchor design holds the key to providing engineers and specifiers with an approach to concrete anchoring that achieves assured performance without the cost, whilst increasing application versatility.
EJOT’s H1 eco anchors are widely used as hammer-in anchors, clamping insulation to structure, but here they are used in a more innovative way.
The market's only genuine self-undercutting anchor that does not require any special setting tools.
And, in addition to concrete, these torque-controlled expansion anchors are also suitable for installation in other hard base materials including natural stone. The innovative design of BA Plus allows the required installation torque to be achieved with 30-50% fewer revolutions than previously, and new M8 and M10 through-bolts can now be used for anchoring in to concrete which is up to 20mm thinner.
The installation of the electrical services and public address (PA) system in one of the UK’s most high-profile new road tunnel projects involved the installation of more than 6,000 high performance mechanical anchors.
That is the thinking behind the LIEBIG Superplus BLS heavy duty anchor from EJOT.
From Barnsley to Great Yarmouth via New York! LIEBIG Ultraplus anchors bridge the gap. Heavy duty LIEBIG Ultraplus undercut anchors, which are believed to be the largest mechanical anchors ever used in a civil engineering project, have played a key role in the construction of a bridge in East Anglia.
Being developed by experts in the fixing industry from all Europe and having as a base of calculation, the Europe design standards (ETAG), Chemical Anchor Engineering is the friendliest software from this category.
EJOT's Concrete, Brick and Block collective takes specifier and installer from self-tapping fastener solutions, through nylon expansion anchors, to anchor bolts and resin systems.
The free Chemical Anchor Engineering Software enables easy calculation of values for metal anchors and chemical anchors.
As a result, buyers involved in major public sector building and infrastructure projects can find valid information on EJOT’s fastening systems, including its market-leading building envelope solutions and LIEBIG heavy duty anchors, in Constructionline’s supplier database. Paul Papwoth, EJOT UK’s structural anchoring specialist said: “We’re really pleased to have been approved as a Constructionline Premier member because we know how important it is for buyers on major projects to have to ...

EJOT® TRIO general purpose insulation anchor
Yet we constantly see the consequences of wrongly specified fixings and mistakes that have presented a serious threat to life. It is vital that the correct anchoring system is chosen and that it is installed to the manufacturers recommendations; that includes drilling and preparation of the installation hole through to insertion and setting of the anchor. Established in 1979, the CFA is non-profit making industry-wide body.
The RCI Show is the UK’s only exhibition dedicated to the roofing, cladding and insulation sectors, bringing together leading manufacturers and suppliers. The organisers aim to create a vibrant exhibition environment that promotes the latest that the best in industry have to offer; compare and source new products; benefit from experts representing key associations; and hear about the important issues that are going to impact on the sector.

The EJOT DH Rainscreen Insulation Anchor has been re-engineered so that the shank and insulation plate are two separate pieces, both manufactured from high grade plastic for insulation thicknesses of 60mm up to 300mm.
Steve Bailey Steve joined EJOT in August 2008 and lives in Woodbridge, Suffolk. With over 20 years’ experience in fastener sales, he specialises in Roofing and Cladding, Rainscreen and Anchoring technology.
In principle, all fastening solutions for attachments on thermally insulated facades must meet the following requirements: Safe load-bearing capacity and load transfer in the substrate / insulating material Weather resistance and rain-impermeability Minimisation of thermal bridges In addition, the functionality of the ETICS must not be impaired by the attachment or the corresponding fastening solution.
For tips on installing light to medium heavy attachments on insulated facades, see our previous article.
At these transitions, different movements of the plaster shell and the window occur due to changes in temperature in the plaster shell and wind stress on the window.
The inspired thinking that engineering apprentices can bring to high-tech manufacturing businesses is perfectly illustrated in a project that has helped EJOT UK to improve the efficiency of one of its main production lines. Josh Mozer, who joined EJOT UK as an engineering apprentice at the age of 16, has successfully completed a project to develop a unique machine which has improved productivity in the manufacture of LIEBIG heavy duty anchors.

In contrast, a dry lining gun can turn at over 4,000 revs and will burn out the fastener’s drill point. And whilst the rotational force of impact drivers may be great for high torque installation of anchors, they are completely wrong for self-drilling tek screws.
An extensive range of fasteners were used in this project, including concrete screws, top hat fixings, powder coated fasteners, rivets, soffit insulation anchors, Colorfast and all the necessary stress plates and washers.
