Ancon supports the fourth 'Evolving Concrete' conference and exhibition

Ancon will be showcasing its latest high integrity steel fixings, engineered specifically for the UK concrete sector, on Stand 18 of Evolving Concrete in Reading on Thursday 20th June 2019.


The conference comprises a series of talks from industry experts on a diverse range of concrete-related topics. Speakers include Ancon's Divisional Manager, Hervé Poveda, who will discuss how reinforcing bar couplers and reinforcement continuity systems reduced rebar congestion, improved build quality and accelerated the speed of construction on the gigantic concrete superstructure of Europe's tallest building; the 87-floor, 462m high helicoidal Lakhta Tower in St. Petersburg.


The event is open to both Society members and non-members, and will be of particular interest to architects, consultant engineers and contractors.

Simple orientation mark enhances classic Ancon serrated washer design

Ancon has made a simple improvement to one of its smallest, but most utilised, stainless steel building components to benefit installers of its masonry support systems.


An orientation guide, in the form of two horizontal square ridges, has been incorporated into the design of the classic serrated washer that Ancon supplies with its masonry support brackets.


The square ridges, added to the back of the washer, correspond to the line of the serrations on the opposite side that faces away from the user during installation.


The new design makes it quicker and easier for installers to orientate the serrated washer correctly. Users do not need to view the serrated face before installing the washer and can quickly identify how best to correct any rotation that may occur as the fixing bolt is tightened.
