ONSITE TESTING FOR REBAR AND ANCHORS
Hilti's onsite tests for post-installed rebar and fastenings
You need to carry out onsite testing for rebar and anchors if you don’t know the load capacity of a base material. This is if a base material isn’t covered by ETA guidelines or by Hilti technical data – such as when the base material is old or damaged concrete or rock. Onsite testing calculates the design resistance of a base material and can determine which anchor system is right to use for your installation.
WHEN TO CARRY OUT ONSITE TESTING
To Determine resistance of unknown base material | To verify Installation Quality |
Determine the resistance of an unknown base material and which fastening system to use. | After installing anchor systems – determine quality and safety. This can be required by building owners or to ensure compliance to local guidelines. |
WHAT DO I GET AFTER ONSITE TESTING
We give you a detailed written test report and evaluation
report, with technical data from the test.
Other benefits of
onsite testing:
§ Determine the
resistance values of an unknown base material or of base materials, which are
different and not in the original approval document.
§ Check the quality
and safety of post-installed rebar and fastening systems after installation, by
testing part of the installation.
