Helibeam System

A continually evolving system of repair strategies which incorporates any combination of Helifix masonry repair and reinforcement techniques together with the company's special purpose stainless steel remedial products.

At the heart of these techniques is the use of long lengths of HeliBar stainless steel reinforcing rods bonded into the masonry to a pattern predetermined by a structural engineer to rectify specific problems where masonry has lost its load bearing capabilities.The rods, together with HeliBond grout, provide horizontal mortar bed reinforcement which ties the masonry together and forms deep masonry beams which support and distribute the building loads. No further stresses are introduced and stability is rapidly and economically restored.When used in combination with other remedial products, the Helibeam System enables structural integrity to be reinstated in virtually all situations where failure has occurred.

Benefits:

• quick and easy to install

• effectively restores structural stability at reduced cost

• structural loads supported and redistributed

• no further stresses introduced

• rexibility accommodates normal structural movement

• economical alternative to underpinning/rebuilding

• greatly simplifies lintel and window replacement

• sympathetic and non-disruptive means of repair ideal for listed or heritage buildings

• equally effective on buildings and bridges
