Masonry Anchors play an integral part in any steel and concrete structure and they take many forms to do so.

In Slide Bearing design as the anticipated operating temperature increases adjustments have to be made to the bearing configuration. At approximately 400°F / 204°C the glue that bonds the Fluorogold® or Teflon® to the backing plate will melt and failure will occur soon afterward.

They will be found on plans for everything from offshore drilling platforms, big box stores, renovations, or any structure where the stress of movement, expansion and contraction needs to be relieved.

VOC Trends Continue to move levels lower

Still one of the most useful tools in the box, the BLEED THROUGH BLUE marker helps fabricators mark steel once and have the marks remain visible throughout the fabricating and erecting process. After primer coats are applied the marks bleed through and remain clearly visible.

The Most Efficient Method of Sealing Vent Holes After Hot Dip Galvanizing

Hot Dip Galvanizing and Cold Galvanizing each have advantages.

There are many specifications written covering Anchor Bolts but the predominant one we see called out on drawings is ASTM F1554. The most current version is ASTM F1554-20. It covers exclusively the requirements for manufacturing Cast In Place Anchor Bolts.

In the 3 years since the Coronavirus began the construction industry has seen its costs increase and supply chains disrupted more significantly than many of us have ever seen before. 

Extended Length Slotted Shim Manufacturing

Variables such as heat, deflection and dross will affect how slotted steel shims are produced to get the most accurate, cost efficient and serviceable results.
