PROFAST Ankersystemen reports installing all anchorages in the Wijkertunnel during a 36-hour weekend operation, ahead of new ventilation systems to be mounted during the summer closure.

INDEX reports that its MTP-A4 anchors, made entirely of A4 stainless steel and ETA certified for C5-M corrosion conditions, are being used to rebolt deteriorated routes in Jamaica's Discovery Bay and Coral Springs.

ANC-TEC GmbH argues that in anchor testing practice, high single load values are not a quality indicator unless they are reproducible, since scatter is often underestimated; stable, consistent test results are what make a result meaningful.

Bossong announced a new module for masonry anchor design in its calculation software. It cites an EOTA TR054 certified calculation method, use of in-situ test data per EOTA TR053, and design checks for solid masonry, hollow masonry and AAC blocks, targeting engineers and designers.

PROFAST Ankersystemen reports successful pull-out tests in Germany for a large construction project using its V-PRO 70 injection mortar, stating all required loads were comfortably achieved and that the work came via German partner ADT.

Adhesivos Soltec says its R&D department has developed a new calculation program for chemical anchors, available to customers through the company's client area to improve technical advice and support.

ICCONS announces THRU-BOLT ULTRA mechanical expansion anchors, ETA assessed for cracked and non-cracked concrete, seismic categories C1 and C2, and fire R30–R120, and compliant with AS 5216.

PROFAST Ankersystemen reports deploying two new drilling trucks for a Belgian project involving over 12,000 holes of Ø16 mm and 500 mm depth, followed by chemical bonding of rebar with its V-PRO 300 injection mortar, citing air drilling for speed and efficiency.

INDEX has added the TFJ concrete screw with Torx drive to its direct-fixing range, citing improved torque transmission and reduced tool wear. The C1 zinc-coated steel screw is intended for indoor structural and non-structural uses, including near-edge and reduced-spacing installation.

ANC-TEC GmbH argues that testing fastening products only after development is finished often causes delays, because load capacity, scatter and failure mechanisms surface late and force extra test cycles and adjustments.

Germany's DIBt reports issuing 1,981 general building approvals (abZ/aBG) and 401 European Technical Assessments in 2025, and says it will extend responsibility for project-specific approvals to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Lower Saxony from January 2026.
