PS 41X — anchoring into terra-cotta clay speed tile
Problem

The original backup was Speed Tile, which could not accept conventional fixing without damage.

CINTEC solution

A tailored anchoring approach was specified to preserve the fragile clay units.

Technical notes

This is a representative educational-building case for delicate terra-cotta backup conditions.

Result

The replacement work could proceed with a sympathetic structural connection.
