The anchor system

How the CINTEC anchor works

Installed into a pre-drilled oversized hole, the anchor body is surrounded by a fabric sock; cementitious grout is injected under low pressure so the sock expands into voids, cracks and fissures, creating a combined mechanical and adhesive bond with the parent substrate.

Installation overview

Survey & design → pre-drilling → anchor placement → grout injection → quality checks → certified installation. Installation requires CINTEC training; step-by-step installer instructions are not published.

Only CINTEC-trained personnel holding a valid certification may install anchors.

CINTEC provides technical consulting, product guidance and project support within its authorized scope. Final design responsibility and structural analysis remain with the project's Engineer of Record.
