Helifix System Installed to a residential Property in Paignton
The Problem
ASRS Ltd were contacted by a residential customer who required a specification to restore the structural integrity of the masonry where cracking to the external and the internal of the propety and movement had occurred.
The Solution
Front Elevation and Internal Hallway
We produced an appropriate repair scheme recommending the installation of Helifix crack stitches as a simple, effective and permanent solution, to tie in the cracked external and internal walls.
Our highly skilled technicians installed continuous single and twin bands of Helibar stainless steel crack reinforcing, installed horizontally across the existing cracks, offering substantial resistance to further cracking.
Helibar combined with Helibond produces an excellent bond within the substrate, allowing the masonry to remain flexible enough to accommodate natural building movement.
ASRS Ltd also recommended the installation of Helifix HD Bow Ties and Helifix Cem Ties as simple, effective and permanent solution, to tie in the cracked external and internal walls as well as reducing further movement.
Our highly skilled technicians installed 8 No. HD Bow Ties through the external masonry, into first floor joists and 13 No. Cem Ties 1000mm Long, offering substantial resistance to further cracking and movement.
Project Completion
We finished by raking out all existing cracks and injecting in thixotroptic cememtitious grout. We completed the repairs on time and within budget to the client’s satisfaction.
