Ancon has launched a new ‘HAMMER-ON’ fixing to tie masonry to structural steelwork without shot-firing or site drilling.
This new fixing is quick, simple and safe to install. No power tools are required, eliminating the dangers associated with shot-firing and drilling including the exposure of site operatives to Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV).
The Hammer-On fixing is one of six innovative Non-Drill fixing solutions from Ancon. Each fixing either abuts the steel or attaches to the flange to restrain masonry walls against lateral wind loads.
Ancon’s new NON-DRILL range has been welcomed by Gerry Anderson, Construction Director of Irvine Whitlock Ltd who says, “We have used Ancon’s non-drill ties on various projects. The fixing time is dramatically reduced and the work area is safer”.
