The Cintec Anchor System was first developed in Germany in 1965. In 1986 Cintec International Limited acquired the rights to the system. Since then it has developed rapidly to meet the diverse requirements of the civil engineering industry in the field of strengthening and preservation. Based in South Wales, the Company now has extensive international links with independent companies based in the United States, Canada and Australia.
The principal activity of the company is the design and manufacture of the "Cintec" Micro Concrete and Lime Grout Anchoring and Reinforcing System.
The Cintec system comprises a steel section in a mesh fabric sleeve, into which a specially developed cementitious grout is injected under pressure. The flexible sleeve of woven polyester restrains the flow and expands to about twice its normal diameter, moulding itself into the shape and spaces within the walls, providing a mechanical as well as chemical bond. The large surface area of the anchor, in conjunction with the pressurized grout create an anchor system that dispenses with the need for unsightly patress plates on the exterior of the structure, creating an invisible mend.
This product provides an effective solution for repairs to a variety of structures, damaged often as a result of subsidence, earthquake or general wear and tear. The anchor can also be used underwater in harbour walls and foundations, demonstrating itself to be a versatile tool, resolving the technical challenges presented to it. Monuments, Churches and bridges have all benefited from its installation and today the patented anchor system can be found in some of the worlds greatest
structures from the Empire State Building in New York to the Christ Church Cathedral in New South Wales.
