Confidence in the Entire Structure
In applications such as tension-wire lighting, not only is the quality of the wall anchor important, but also the load generated by the span. To assess the safety of the entire structure, a comprehensive measurement is required.
Using dual 3D measurement, Normec examines the stability of wall anchors in combination with the existing span. This provides insight into the suitability of the structure and confirms whether it can be used safely.
A precise analysis of the load
Our specialists calculate in advance the load that will be applied during the measurement. In doing so, we take various factors into account, such as the material, the length of the span, the distance between the wall anchors, the deflection of the structure, and the existing prestress.
During the measurement, we attach the measuring equipment to the tension cable and mount a laser on both wall anchors. A controlled tensile force is then applied, while advanced 3D cameras record every movement.
The measurement offers an accuracy of up to 1/1000 of a millimeter and is recorded entirely digitally for further analysis.
Reliable insights without damage
The dual 3D measurement is completely non-destructive. This means that the structure is not damaged during the inspection, while the behavior of wall anchors and spans under load is accurately determined.
Using the measurement results, we assess, among other things:
- The stability of the wall anchors
- The behavior of the structure under load
- The influence of the span on the anchoring
- The suitability for existing or future tension-wire lighting
This provides you with objective data to assess the safety of the installation.
Suitable for various applications
The dual 3D measurement is used, among other things, for:
- Wall anchors for tension wire lighting
- Facade fixtures
- Other structures in which multiple anchor points are loaded collectively
Assessing the entire structure provides a more reliable picture than inspecting individual wall anchors alone.

Frequently asked questions about dual 3D measurement
-
A dual 3D measurement is a non-destructive testing method used to assess wall anchors and the entire span simultaneously.
-
In a single-anchor measurement, a single wall anchor is assessed individually. The dual 3D measurement analyzes the entire structure, including both wall anchors and the span.
-
Among other things, this method is suitable for wall anchors used with tension-wire lighting and facade fixtures.
-
No. The dual 3D measurement is completely non-destructive and causes no damage to the installation.
-
You will receive a report containing the measurement results and analyses. For approved properties, a compliance certificate may also be issued.
