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.

The installation depth is marked on each anchor sleeve with a ring that runs all the way around it. When should anchors be used in a single or grouped configuration?
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.

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.
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.

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.
That is the thinking behind the LIEBIG Superplus BLS heavy duty anchor from EJOT.
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.
The product key of the EJOT plastic anchor consists of the following components: SDF stands for Schraub Dübel Fassade (screw anchor facade) The initials of the head style: S for the countersunk head and KB for the collar head with collar Nominal diameter of the anchor in millimetres, which also corresponds to the pre-drilled diameter. The following letter helps us to distinguish the anchors with the same diameter.

What are the benefits of guided embedment connections? Undercut anchors for concrete or injection systems for perforated bricks generate comparably high tensile capacity due to the guided joint connection with the substrate.
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 console is made of stainless steel (A4). The material allows a significant reduction of the thermal bridge surcharge in the system, since it has a markedly low thermal conductivity compared to aluminium. This energy efficiency of the substructure can lead to a smaller wall cross-section as a result of a reduction in the thickness of the insulation and thus bring about an increase in the useful area.

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.
How is a rainscreen facade constructed? A rainscreen facade is made up of several layers. The wall brackets are attached to the first layer, the base material. It is particularly important to use a thermal separating element here between the wall and the bracket, in order to reduce thermal bridges in the system. Then mineral insulation is laid and attached with the aid of insulation support anchors.
