Safety, strength and structural integrity
In road and bridge construction, the need for superior safety, strength and structural integrity means that Ancon steel fixings are routinely specified for large-scale infrastructure projects.
Concrete reinforcing bar couplers and starter bars play a key role in creating secure, high-strength bridges worldwide – from long-span crossings to footbridges.
