The anchor system

The world’s most innovative structural anchoring and reinforcement system.

CINTEC engineers custom reinforcement and anchoring solutions for masonry, heritage structures, bridges and retaining walls. Installed in an oversized drilled hole, the anchor is surrounded by a fabric sock and bonded with low-pressure grout to create a durable mechanical and adhesive connection.

Parent substrate
masonry, stone, concrete, terra cotta, adobe, timber or weak material.
Pre-drilled oversized hole
created to suit the substrate and the engineered anchor configuration.
Anchor body
steel or stainless steel, sized to the project loads and substrate conditions.
Fabric sock
contains and shapes the grout as it expands into the surrounding material.
Cementitious grout
injected under low pressure to engage the substrate and distribute load.
Hardware & end details
concealed, countersunk or exposed as required by the design.
Customized design solutions

Every solution is developed to the project. The examples below represent the range of engineered configurations used across restoration and structural reinforcement work.

  • Masonry wall ties
  • Solid bar anchors
  • Threaded anchors
  • Countersunk / concealed anchors
  • Terra cotta anchors
  • Masonry wall anchors
  • Bridge & arch strengthening
  • Parapet strengthening
  • Seismic retrofit
  • Underwater / weak-substrate applications
Engineered to the project

Length, diameter, steel grade, end condition, hardware and installation method are selected for the specific substrate, loads and site constraints of the project. CINTEC works with the design team to confirm suitability and provide project-specific guidance.

Installation overview

Survey & design → pre-drilling → anchor placement → grout injection → quality checks → certified installation. Installation is performed by trained personnel and follows documented procedural requirements.

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.
