MKT explains that cracked concrete is a normal design condition, not necessarily damage, and that anchor qualification, ETA performance values and design must account for whether cracks may occur. It promotes MKT anchors assessed for cracked concrete and stresses following the relevant approval.
MKT Metall-Kunststoff-Technik explains how ETA, CE marking and DoP documentation work for anchors under the Construction Products Regulation, noting no harmonised European product standard exists for expansion or bonded anchors.
MKT (Metall-Kunststoff-Technik) says its VME plus injection system, covered by ETA-19/0483, now extends to dielectric fixings.
MKT highlights that many European Technical Assessments include fire-performance values for fastenings, based on the ISO 834 standard temperature-time curve, but tunnel fires can impose far greater thermal loads.
MKT reports that its VMZ (ETA-04/0092) and VMH (ETA-17/0716) injection systems have been checked for installing Deutsche Bahn standard safety railings, covering A4 (SS316) stainless steel cone rods and anchor rods.
MKT Metall-Kunststoff-Technik is featured in Torque Magazine issue 105 in an article on its VZ System of resin capsules, including the VZ-P, for chemical anchoring. The piece cites reduced material and packaging waste and clean installation in series applications.
MKT has expanded its range with grade 8.8 anchor rods, available zinc-plated and hot-dip galvanized in various diameters and lengths.
MKT reports that the European Technical Assessment (ETA-19/0619) for its BZ3 wedge anchor has been updated, adding design options and performance changes.
MKT says it has been awarded the "Forschungspartner der RPTU" seal by the Rheinland-Pfälzische Technische Universität Kaiserslautern-Landau at the Innovate Now innovation forum in Landau.
