Confidence in the Quality of Wall Anchors
Wall anchors are a critical component of structures to which, for example, tension-wire lighting or facade fixtures are attached. It is therefore essential to know whether these attachment points can safely bear the load, both before and after installing a span.
Using the Solitaire 3D measurement, Normec assesses the quality and stability of individual wall anchors. Thanks to this patented measurement method, you gain reliable insight into the condition of the anchoring without damaging the structure.
Accurate measurements without damage
During the measurement, our specialists attach measuring equipment to the wall anchor. A controlled tensile force is then applied, while an advanced 3D camera records every movement of the anchor.
The measurement offers an accuracy of up to 1/1000 of a millimeter and is recorded entirely digitally. This allows the measurement data to be reanalyzed later and, if necessary, viewed in slow motion.
Using the Solitaire 3D measurement, we assess, among other things:
- The stability of the wall anchor
- The behavior of the anchorage under load
- Its suitability for the existing span
- The load-bearing capacity for applications such as tension-wire lighting and facade fixtures
Applicable both before and after installation
A key advantage of the standalone 3D measurement is that it can be performed both before and after a span is installed. This makes the method suitable for new projects, as well as for existing situations where the safety of wall anchors needs to be verified.
The measurement is used, among other things, for:
- Wall anchors for tension-wire lighting
- Facade fixtures
- Other anchor systems where stability and load-bearing capacity must be verifiably determined
Insights that help you move forward
After the measurement, our specialists compile the results into a clear and concise report. Within two weeks, you’ll have access to the measurement data, analyses, and conclusions via an online portal.
For approved projects, you’ll also receive a safety certificate. This provides you with verifiable proof that the wall anchor is suitable for the intended application.
Why choose Normec?
Normec combines years of practical experience with innovative, patented measurement techniques. Thanks to our non-destructive approach, the structure remains completely intact, while you have access to highly accurate measurement data you can rely on.
