Test for suitability and allowable load
Anchor Testing can be arranged on the fixings we supply in accordance with the recommendations of BS8539 for the selection and installation of anchors in concrete and masonry.
The test involves attaching a Test Rig to the anchor which is then pulled to the designated stress load level in order to test the strength of the fixing. We then provide a comprehensive and detailed report to show the conformance of the fixings to the project required load levels.
Please note anchor testing only confirms the integrity of the anchor installation and not the system it’s supporting.
