CTS®/IBO® Hollow Bars

Our Geotechnical division stands on the shoulder of Horst Aschenbroich. With Con-Tech Systems, he introduced the CTS®/IBO® hollow bar systems into the market. We are offering the same system. We also supply strand anchor materials, namely steel strand, plastic sheathing and accessories, as well as hydraulic jacks.

 

CTS®/IBO® Hollow Bar System:


• Hollow bars are commonly used as Soil nails, Anchors and Micropiles.

• Each CTS®/IBO® hollow bar heat is tested in a certified North American Lab. The test certificate is provided with every shipment.

• CTS®/IBO® hollow bars are available in low carbon steel.

• CTS®/IBO® hollow bar couplers come with a middle stop.

Production Benefits:


• Single step casing free operation significantly improves productivity.

• Suitable for difficult and restricted access situations.

• Ability to use smaller drilling rigs reduces mobilization costs.

• Dramatically increased production rates.

• Permits top down mini jet grouting in saturated clays and silts complete with reinforcing bar.

• Remote de-coupling unit facilitates underwater piling from barges or drill platforms.

• No harmful vibrations or noise.

• Minimal spoil.

Geotechnical Benefits:


• Extremely low settlement characteristics.

• Enhanced mechanical bond with surrounding ground (ground improvement).

• Minimal disturbance during installation.

• Works in compression and tension.

CTS®/IBO® Hollow Bar System Technical Data

Hot Rolled Thread Bars


•FCS Can offers hot rolled thread bar. Grade 80 and 100 bars are produced in Canada.

• Main application of Thread Bars are:
- Geotechnical Applications: soil nails, micropiles, pre-stresed rock and soil anchors; - Mining and Tunneling: anchors for roofs and side walls.

• Hot rolled Thread Bars are one of the strongest, simplest and most robust steel systems in the industry.

• The continuous hot rolled thread along the entire length of the bar allows the bars to be cut, spliced and anchored with coulers or nuts at any point along the bar.

• The two flat sides on the bar eliminate jamming of nuts and couplers.

Monostrand Jacks 25T

Our Monostrand Jacks were developed by Con-Tech Systems. FCS Can Ltd. has taken over the distribution and support.

Typical Applications:


Our monostrand jacks are dual acting have a 76mm [3”] stroke and a max load capacity of 50 kips. They were specifically developed with mining in mind. They can be used to stress single strands and up to 25mm [1”] diameter solid bars. They can also be used to synchronize the individual strand tension on large strand anchors before stressing.
