The HALFEN HEK3 Precast Coupler is an innovative quick and easy versatile solution for connecting precast reinforced concrete elements together or to adjacent in-situ concrete elements.
Embedded sleeve anchors, for example the HALFEN DEMU T-FIXX® Bolt or rod anchors, are used in the precast element to anchor the tension and shear forces.
The benefit of the system is the quick, efficient connection of the precast concrete elements. The connection can be subjected to load immediately after installation; this helps to speeds up construction.
Features and benefits:
- Transmission of tension and shear loads.
- The bolt connection allows easy, safe and fast on-site installation.
- Full adjustability of precast elements, also compensates for installation tolerances.
- No temporary bracing required.
- Weather independent installation/ assembly.
- Quick installation/assembly and therefore lower costs.
- All applications can be realized with one precast coupler.
- No special tools required.
- Durable corrosion protection.
- Tried and tested HALFEN DEMU Fixing anchors as system components with European technical approval.
- Free HALFEN Calculation software available.
- Part of a range of HALFEN precast connections.
