Tie rods ideal for the building and carpentry sector
They are structural elements, often made of metal or steel that are used to counteract the lateral thrust forces due to the weight, for example, of a roof; in fact, they are often inserted to support arches or vaults. In particular, they come into operation when subjected to tensile stresses.
The carpentry, instead, assembles products prepared to measure to create and assemble fixed or mobile structures. It’s distinguished in light carpentry and heavy carpentry to create structures based on different needs. The first uses steel and thin aluminium sheets for the construction of works intended for civil homes or for industrial environments.
The second concerns the processes that are obtained through a complex metal structure to support the weight of civil or industrial buildings, such as roofs or internal and external stairs. The companies that make them must have certifications to guarantee the safety of the works carried out.
Tie rods for the consolidation of structures and for systems
They represent one of the most effective techniques for reinforcing buildings and are used to increase the resistance of a wall in its own plane, to reduce the possibility of overturning and to reduce the static thrusts of structures (arches, vaults, roofs).
Tie rods for consolidating structures boast some advantages, they are in fact simple to install and do not alter the stress state of the buildings in any way. Elements of this type are also relatively cheap. The tie rods for plant engineering, on the other hand, consist of a cable, a bar or a prismatic element, generally particularly slender.
They can be inserted in a building or within a structural system to counteract the thrusts produced by other structural elements (arches, vaults, roof struts), seismic thrusts or in general, to reconnect damaged elements to each other and prevent the evolution of disruptions. The tie rods can be provided right from the construction or later as a consolidation element.
Versatility and speed are our strengths, we operate in the province of Lecco and in the neighbouring ones, such as Como, Bergamo and Monza e Brianza.
