Cintec wall ties
Normally wall ties in a cavity wall are not meant to take much load. The whole point of having lots of them is to reduce stress by ‘sharing’ the work over a wide area.
However, most wall ties are not made by Cintec International. These ties are more like structural anchors. In fact we’ve used larger models than the one shown here to stitch bridges together and hold down heavy machinery.
Anyway, the walls in the video were condemned as being in too poor a state to take conventional wall ties. We attended on site to demonstrate the power of the Cintec wall ties to our client…. watch and be amazed.
