About CINTEC

An engineering-led solution provider

CINTEC develops custom anchoring and reinforcement systems for difficult structural problems in masonry, stone, concrete and weak substrates. Our role is to engineer the right solution for the project, not to sell from a standard catalog.

Origins

Founded in 1984 and originally known as Cavity Lock Systems, CINTEC emerged to address the limitations of conventional anchors in fragile and heterogeneous substrates. The approach combines engineering analysis, site-specific design and certified installation to solve difficult reinforcement problems.

Global presence

Based in Wales, UK, CINTEC supports projects worldwide from regional offices and specialist partners in North America, Europe, the Middle East and beyond. The company delivers turn-key design and installation of masonry anchoring, stabilization systems and blast mitigation solutions for global clients.

Engineering approach

Every inquiry begins with project data: drawings, loads, substrate condition and installation constraints, followed by a custom anchor design supported by relevant test evidence and a practical understanding of site execution. CINTEC's engineering and research work continues to develop methods for masonry stabilization, heritage repair and difficult structural conditions.

Quality commitment

Documented procedures, traceable materials, certified installer training, post-installation verification and continuing research into masonry performance underpin every CINTEC project.

Awards & recognition

CINTEC has received recognition for innovative restoration and conservation work, including the Queen's Award for Innovation, the Australian Engineering Excellence Award for the conservation of Red Bridge, Tasmania, Historic Bridge Awards in the United Kingdom, Engineering Council recognition for environmental advantages using the Archtec method, and the Better Roads Award in the United States.
