DESCRIPTION

The Westox Remedial Tie anchorage system includes ties that can be hammered or grouted into masonry walls. The Westox Remedial Ties are an austenitic stainless steel 316, reinforcing material. Being rolled from a plain round wire, the fins are work-hardened to a very high level whilst the core remains relatively soft. The subsequent twisting process puts the fins into tension and the core into compression. The tensile strength of the base material is more than doubled during the manufacturing process. The pronounced fins over the core make the bonding characteristics of the Westox Remedial Tie far superior to alternative standard reinforcing materials.

The Westox remedial Ties are available in 6mm, 8mm and 10mm diameters and 200mm, 220mm, 250mm and 270mm lengths. Other lengths and profiles to meet the requirements of structural engineers and other specifiers are available of request.

USES

The uses of the ties are both wide and varied and they can be utilised in new buildings and for many specialised refurbishment requirements like apartment buildings, historic buildings, bridges and many more. The Westox Remedial Ties can be used for structural reinforcement or anchorage fittings.

WESTOX REMEDIAL TIE – CHEMICAL INSTALLATION

Westox Remedial Tie Chemical Installation System is ideal for masonry walls where the quality of the masonry is poor or inconsistent or where mechanical ties will not bind with the masonry. The use of Westox Polyester Resin Grout is needed.

Drill pilot hole 2mm smaller than tie approx 70mm into inner leaf
Holes cleaning – Vacuum out the holes and flush with water
Mix grout and using the appropriate nozzle inject grout into the hole
Drive the tie until it is fully recessed into the masonry
Cover the hole with appropriate grout

Note: In cavity walls, inject grout into the inner leaf, insert tie and then inject grout into outer leaf.
