WHY TO USE POST-INSTALLED REBAR

Post-installed rebars – strong and easy to use

Hilti post-installed rebar applications

If you’re looking to extend, join or strengthen walls, slabs, columns or beams, then post-installed rebar systems can help. Whether it’s for new or existing builds, from residential buildings to bridges, Hilti have a solution.

Post-installed rebar connections are anchorages and splices that can be fixed into place using Hilti Injection Technology (HIT) adhesive anchors.

They’re easy and fast to use. Simply drill a hole, inject our Hilti HIT chemical adhesives and then install your steel bar.

And they’re at least as strong as cast-in place reinforcement bars, as proven in tests by European Technical Approvals (TR023). So you can design post-installed rebars into your build using the same principles as for any reinforced concrete design.

POST-INSTALLED REBAR AND HILTI SAFESET™ SYSTEM

Post-installed rebar systems are also:

  • very flexible,
  • useful for a wide range of applications,
  • able to work in shallow areas of concrete.

Our Hilti SafeSet™ system helps speed up post-installed rebar installation. Hilti SafeSet™ vacuums the hole while drilling, minimising dust and cutting out the need for manual cleaning the drilled hole.
