Reduce Installation Costs
much less than welding. Fire watch or complex welding
containments are not required to install the brackets.
Maintain Tenant Comfort and Safety
Our product causes minimum disruption for tenants. Work is often
scheduled at night and on weekends. By striving to keep the
environment clean during construction and to maintain a normal
atmosphere for tenants, construction is kept essentially “invisible.”
Save Hours of Construction Time
Bolted brackets can be installed by simply drilling holes in existing
beams and columns. Since the product is cast in U.S. foundries to
suit stringent control standards, quality is less dependent on field
work. Standardized brackets can be installed concurrent with final
inspection. (Welding is a more complex process which requires
careful scheduling of welders and inspectors. In addition,
barricades and special ventilation systems are required.)
Increase Connection Capacity
The Bolted Bracket allows the frame to perform as it was originally
designed without changing frame stiffness. Because of the special
properties of the product, an owner can choose to repair part of a
building or upgrade the entire structure.
Environmentally Safe
Bolting avoids hazards associated with welding, such as fires from
sparks or sprinkler system malfunctions. (Welding requires
continuous inspection, highly skilled welders, extensive fire
protection measures and venting of noxious fumes.)
