Easily used in poor quality materials and in bridging cavities, the Anchor System delivers fast, permanent repairs, even in weak substrates.
The Anchor System is comprised of a steel section in a mesh fabric sleeve, into which a specially developed cementitious grout is injected under low pressure.
The flexible woven polyester sleeve restrains the flow and molds the anchor into the shapes and spaces within the wall, providing a strong mechanical bond.
Variations in the size and shape of the System's individual components enable the basic method to be extended to meet the unique requirements of each project.
